Abstract
U.S. lumber producers have raised concerns about softwood imports from Canada many years.Alleged Canadian subsidies (a prerequisite for establishing countervailing duties -CVDs) were investigated in 1982, 1986, and 1992.No subsidies were found in 1983.Subsidy findings led to a 1986 Memorandum of Understanding (a 15% Canadian tax on lumber exported to the United States), and to a 6.51% CVD in 1992.The CVD was challenged under the U.S.-Canada Free Trade Agreement, and was terminated in 1994.A 1996 Softwood Lumber Agreement restricted exports to the United States until March 31, 2001.(See CRS Report RL30826.)U.S. Industry Arguments.The U.S. producers argue that they have been injured by Canadian subsidies, especially for provincial stumpage fees (for the right to harvest trees).In Canada, the provinces own 90% of the timberlands; this contrasts with the United States, where 42% of timberlands are publicly owned and where government timber is often sold competitively.These differences in land tenure make comparisons difficult.In addition, U.S. lumber producers argue that Canadian log export restrictions subsidize producers by preventing others from getting access to Canadian timber.U.S. log exports from federal and state lands are also restricted, but logs are exported from U.S. private lands.Canada argues that U.S. treatment of export restrictions violates the WTO Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; the direct Gemma label and the distilled Codex classifier agree on what is shown here.
