The last softwood lumber agreement was concluded in 2006. I still wonder why renegotiation in this area is so complicated, given that in sectors such as steel, aluminum and energy, we always manage to find common ground and reach an agreement. How is it that no one wants to touch the softwood lumber agreement? It’s complicated. There are certainly reasons for that. What do you think?
It has been almost 20 years since there have been any new negotiations on softwood lumber. So you’ve been living under the terms of the 2006 agreement for a long time. Today, because of the tariffs that have been imposed, there is a sense of urgency. So why is it that this agreement, which has been talked about for ages, is not being renegotiated?
