Settlement Ends BC Stumpage Dispute With Canada US Agreement
Canadian Government and BC officials announce a negotiated settlement over the June 1 1998 stumpage cut. Forest Minister David Zirnhelt says the deal keeps most exports under the Softwood Lumber Agreement while raising export fees on a small 2 percent share. The agreement, effective 1996, avoids US tariffs and preserves cross border trade.
