NDP Say Not Enough Being Done After Expiry of Softwood Lumber Agreement

The NDP’s spokesperson on the softwood lumber agreement says the government has not done enough to prepare for the expiration of the softwood lumber agreement with the US.
The agreement expired a year ago and the year-long standstill that was in place after the agreement expired on Wednesday.
Bruce Ralston says the Premier said getting a new agreement was a top priority, but not much has happened…
Ralston says should the U-S begin filing petitions against Canadian softwood lumber it could have huge impacts on communities across the province.
