Ottawa – Mary Ng, Minister of Export Promotion, International Trade and Economic Development, has issued the following statement regarding the United States International Trade Commission’s (USITC’s) determination on tin mill steel imports from Canada:
“Today, the USITC determined that imports of Canadian tin mill steel products did not cause or threaten to cause injury to domestic U.S. producers. Canada is pleased with this decision. Canadian tin mill steel producers are a critical part of our cross-border steel industry. They are reliable partners to the United States and contribute to our deeply integrated North American supply chains.
“A negative finding was the only justifiable outcome for the Canadian steel industry and its workers. Today’s announcement will further strengthen the unique Canada-United States trade relationship, built on a historical alliance and steadfast friendship.
