“American steel tariffs are hurting the people and workers in my community. I want the minister to update us on her plan to support our steel workers and invest in the local industry.”

“Mr. Speaker, the American tariffs on steel are completely unjustified and illegal. The House knows that. They are affecting my community of Sault Ste. Marie and the surrounding area. They are making people anxious and creating very difficult decisions for people to make right now. Recently, the Minister of Industry was in the Soo to make a very important announcement on how she would have the backs of workers and of the industry. Can she update us on her plan to support the workers and the industry and to make a major milestone investment at Tenaris?”

“American steel tariffs have hurt Sault Ste. Marie, but our plan is working. The federal government is investing 76 million dollars to help create 200 new jobs there.”

“Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank our fantastic MP for Sault Ste. Marie—Algoma for his hard work. I know that the community and the town have been going through really tough times because of the unjustified and illegal American tariffs against our steelworkers, but there is good news. Notwithstanding U.S. protectionism, our plan is working, because in Sault Ste. Marie last Friday, we were able to announce 200 new jobs, a $76-million investment by the federal government, and Tenaris’ own investment.”
