Alberta 's forest products face a 55-per-cent tax on a market that takes half of the country’s lumber, pulp, and wood panels.

The U.S. Commerce Department revealed an increase in duties on lumber from 14 per cent to nearly 30 per cent.

Alberta 's forestry industry sustains 30,000 jobs and the livelihoods of many hard-working Albertans are at risk.
