Canfor \1\ states that in the preliminary and final determinations for the antidumping investigation of softwood lumber, the Department collapsed Lakeland, and The Pas with Canfor.
With respect to Canfor's argument that the Department's approach to [[Page 65885]] purchases of countervailable logs and lumber is distortive in the case of companies with operations in British Columbia, petitioners object to Canfor's suggestion, that the company provide data on the volume of lumber and logs purchased by province and species.
Canfor concludes that only in cases where a company purchases and remanufacturers it, is it appropriate to calculate a stumpage benefit on the remanufactured lumber sold by that company and to include the sales value of the remanufactured lumber in the denominator of its subsidy rate calculation.

 Boston.com / Business / Canfor to purchase Slocan Forest Products   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Canfor Corp., Canada's largest lumber exporter, is buying Slocan Forest Products Ltd. for about $342 million in stock in a deal that would create Canada's second biggest lumber manufacturer and a major supplier of softwood to the United States.
Canfor, based in Vancouver, has been doing an increasing amount of business with U.S. retail outlets such as Home Depot and Lowe's.
An earlier merger effort between the two companies was killed by the provincial government in the early 1990s, apparently out of concern about the impact on forestry communities and the high percentage of government timber rights the merged company would control.

OTTAWA -- The U.S. government is trying to quash Canfor Corp.'s lawsuit under NAFTA that seeks damages for two years of punitive softwood lumber duties, a move observers say is an attempt to erode key protections for investors under the trade deal.
