VANCOUVER - A leader in British Columbia’s forestry sector is voicing support for Prime Minister Mark Carney’s decision to walk away from trade talks with the United States despite reported concessions on lumber tariffs in a scuttled deal.
Kim Haakstad, president of the BC Council of Forest Industries, says the breakdown of talks will create challenges for her sector, but Ottawa had to walk away if negotiators couldn’t secure a deal that worked for Canadians broadly.
