Sadly, I've been working on this since Lumber IV.
With respect to the duties, it's true there were approximately—if my memory serves me correctly—$5.2 billion in duties collected at the end of Lumber IV. There was a negotiated settlement, which resulted in the repayment of $4.2 billion U.S. to the Canadian industry, a return of $500 million to the U.S. lumber coalition, and $500 million went to a meritorious initiatives committee that sort of did projects throughout North America.
That settlement agreement was to bring to a close an additional protracted litigation before the U.S. courts over the return of the duties, and was supported by over 95% of the industry at the time, including AbitibiBowater Inc., the predecessor of Resolute Forest Products. I know there were some companies that did object, but Abitibi was not one at the time.
Just to add one thing—and I am not a U.S. lawyer, but it's important to understand this from the perspective of settlement negotiations—namely, that you must have the U.S. industry at the table. In previous negotiations, the U.S. industry had a legal right under U.S. law to essentially bring these trade remedy actions. To settle them, one of the things we've had to do is to seek “no injury letters” from the U.S. industry. The U.S. industry has a seat at the table by virtue of the way U.S. law is set up, so to a certain extent, if the U.S. industry isn't interested, then it's very difficult to get the U.S. government to move on this.
I hope that helps to give some context.
