Government of Canada disappoints Canadian steel producers
(Posted on 01/09/25)
Catherine Cobden, President and CEO of the Canadian Steel Producers Association (CSPA), has released the following statement on the announcement by the Canadian Prime Minister.
“We appreciate the sentiment expressed by the Prime Minister that his focus is on finding a solution for the Section 232 impacted sectors, but we must see actions that meet the moment.
“We saw the United States deeply escalate their attack on our industry through the execution of 407 new tariffs on steel products impacting close to $28B in Canadian exports.
“Today, the government maintains countermeasures for Section 232 impacted sectors but fails to recognize the mistakes they made in their retaliatory approach, including the ill-fated April reprieve.
“The fact is that a significant volume of steel is entering Canada from the United States without a tariff of any sort.
“We are simply looking for the Government of Canada to ensure reciprocal treatment for all US steel entering our country on products we produce. Currently 83% of all imported US steel could be produced in Canada, but instead they get free access to the Canadian markets while our industry suffers.
“Reciprocal tariffs protect Canada’s industries and workers during this trade war.
“We are eager to meet with the Government of Canada to get this right.”
The Canadian Steel Producers Association (CSPA) is the national voice of all primary steel producers and some of the country’s largest steel consumers.
