The global trade landscape has fundamentally changed. To meet this moment, Canada’s new government is developing a comprehensive industrial strategy. It will invest in domestic production, develop Canadian expertise, support our companies to retool and reinvest, and help industries pivot to a growing Canadian market and those of new, reliable trading partners around the world.

As part of that strategy, the Prime Minister, Mark Carney, today announced a series of new measures to help the softwood lumber industry transform to remain competitive. These measures will help unlock the full potential of the industry as we scale up housing and major infrastructure construction and drive long-term economic growth, rooted in Canadian resources and innovation.
