We are disappointed and surprised at the recent call for boycotts of our drywall products by some Canadian customers and certain Western Canadian Associations, and through commentary in the Canadian media, related to our Anti-Dumping Complaint and the subsequent Provisional Duties announced by the Canadian Border Services Agency on September 6.

We would like to put this issue into clear context: This is about Canadian law and Canadian jobs.
We filed an Anti-Dumping Complaint because drywall manufacturers based in the US were exporting large and growing volumes of products into Western Canada in the last few years at prices materially lower than those at which they are sold in the US.
