Dire Warning About New Brunswick Forest Industry

New Brunswick’s forest industry is in jeopardy because of duties the Trump Administration wants to impose on softwood lumber exports to the U.S.

Gagetown Petitcodiac MLA Ross Wetmore warns the jobs of more than 20 thousand people in the province are at risk.

Wetmore says the federal and provincial governments should work together with one goal in mind and that is to gain an exemption for New Brunswick from the duties which has been the case for the past 35 years.
