Canada is pleased with today’s World Trade Organization (WTO) Appellate Body decision, which supports Canada’s position that U.S. procedures used to establish countervailing duties (CVD) on Canadian softwood lumber imports are inconsistent with WTO rules.
As a result of the Appellate Body decision, the case will now be sent to arbitration to determine the amount of retaliation Canada is entitled to in the event the United States does not bring itself into conformity with its WTO obligations. Canada is requesting authorization to retaliate against the United States in the amount of C$200 million. Arbitration will begin in early 2006, following WTO adoption of the Appellate Body report. The Government of Canada would seek the views of Canadians before any retaliatory measures were imposed.

"The concern is not that Nova Scotians drink, rather it's how they are drinking," Health Promotion Minister Rodney MacDonald said while releasing the Alcohol Indicators Report. "Many Nova Scotians drink socially and do so without harm, but some Nova Scotians drink alcohol in such a way that it has a negative effect on their health and well-being. It can also effect their family and community."
