AI Article Summary

Prime Minister Mark Carney has indicated that any future trade agreement with the United States might include quotas on softwood lumber exports. This statement comes after British Columbia Premier David Eby mentioned that the federal government has been discussing the possibility of using quotas with provinces as a solution to the ongoing softwood lumber trade issues. The inclusion of 'managed trade' elements in the deal aims to address longstanding trade conflicts between Canada and the U.S. over lumber imports.
