A postponement in the final decision by the U.S. Secretary of Commerce, in the investigations of anti-dumping duty and countervailing duty of imports of softwood lumber from Canada.
That decision will now be made no later than mid-November.
Wilbur Ross Jr. stated he remains hopeful that a negotiated settlement can be reached that satisfies the concerns of all parties.
Premier Brian Gallant will meet with Ross today in Washington.
He plans to ask Ross to exclude New Brunswick from countervailing duties on softwood from Canada to the United States.
