The Future of US-Canada Trade Relations," Roger Simmons (Consul General, Seattle) and Hugo Llorens (United States Consul General, Vancouver). The United States and Canada have the world's largest trading partnership, exchanging more than one billion dollars daily in goods. On May 3rd, the U.S. International Trade Commission voted to impose stiff tariffs on imports of Canadian softwood lumber, stating that the Canadian imports, and the country's trade practices, were harming domestic producers. How will the current softwood lumber dispute affect this critical bi- lateral relationship and the economics of our region? Simmons and Llorens will discuss this crucial & timely issue. Cost: $30 (includes lunch). Call Discovery Institute to register. This Discovery Institute event is co-sponsored by the Greater Seattle Chamber of Commerce & the Canadian Studies Center/Jackson School of International Studies - UW.
