"'It is our view that it effectively provides a distorting double advantage to U.S. industry and, if left in place, could lead to billions of dollars in Canadian-paid duties being handed over to U.S. companies,' International Trade Minister Jim Peterson said.

'I call upon the U.S. to preserve the integrity of the global trading system by moving expeditiously to repeal the Byrd Amendment.'
