FREDERICTON—New Brunswick’s trade-policy minister says he’s confident Atlantic Canadian lumber exports will remain excluded from U.S. duties once President Donald Trump sees the facts. Can-Am Cedar, which creates playground equipment with wood from Junction Lumber, creates 12 jobs in Maine. The New Brunswick government has set up a task force to address the possible duties. Opposition critic Ross Wetmore says the task force is a case of too little, too late. “A month before the duties are to take place, they decide to appoint a task force,” he said.
