Softwood lumber is one of Canada's largest exports to the United States, with 21.5 billion board feet of lumber shipped in 2005 alone. Those exports were worth $8.5 billion and they continue to comprise an important element of the

largest trading relationship in the world.

This trade matters to both Canadians and Americans. Canada?s forestry sector employs approximately 280,000 Canadians, and roughly 300 communities are dependent upon the forestry sector. U.S. lumber producers cannot meet domestic demand for softwood lumber: consequently, Canada now supplies over a third of the United States' consumption of this product. The U.S. housing and other industries, which employ over 7 million American workers, have come to rely upon unfettered access to this quality product.
