OTTAWA — Steeve Gelais listened nervously on Monday as U.S. President Donald Trump listed industries he might want to impose tariffs on.

It turns out that cars, pharmaceuticals and semiconductor chips were on the president’s mind that day and St-Gelais could breathe again because the words “lumber” or “forest” didn’t come up.

“Will he wake up tomorrow morning and want to say, ‘Well, we’re going to do something specifically for wood’,” he wondered.
