The NAFTA agreement includes methods of arbitrating and settling disputes. There is an agreed upon definition in NAFTA of a subsidy and an agreed upon, signed, contract between Canada and the US on how to settle these disputes. According to NAFTA, Canadian softwood lumber is not subsadised. The Congress ratified NAFTA but now that numerous NAFTA panels have found against them, they are choosing to ignore it.
