Thank you, @SenatorCollins for your work to recognize the importance of forest products in the ongoing US-Canada trade dispute. Your steadfast leadership and support for our industry is crucial to a stronger North American supply chain. This should lead to broader tariff relief, including on the Canadian side of the border. We urge both sides to come together and strike a deal that is good for U.S. manufacturing, workers and consumers.
