It expires in October 2015, and it’s safe to say there is no one on this side of the border who doesn’t want a renewal of some sort. …In early 2012, the two countries agreed to extend the SLA to October 2015, and talks to extend it further are underway. …“The Government of Canada has been in consultation with provinces, territories and key Canadian softwood lumber industry members,” he states.
