The Canada-United States Softwood Lumber Agreement (SLA) will likely expire next month and enter a one-year standstill period, said British Columbia’s Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resources Operations. Steve Thomson made the comments while visiting staff at the ministry’s office in Dawson Creek. “Our current position is consistent with the industry position, which is we would like to see the agreement extended [in its current form],” Thomson said. “Our process will be to continue to engage with the industry and the U.S. industry.” Thomson was in the Peace Region touring mills in Mackenzie and Chetwynd at the invitation of Peace River South MLA and Education Minister Mike Bernier.
