Steel and Aluminum Industry

During question period, members raised the impact of U.S. tariffs on Canada’s steel and aluminum industry. Jason Groleau of the Conservatives said the Prime Minister failed in trade talks with the Americans, that tariffs of up to 100% put over 3,000 jobs in Beauce at risk and that 350 Stelco workers had lost their jobs, and he called on the government to take action to protect workers. Mélanie Joly of the Liberals replied that the government is in contact with companies including Canam, offers support programs and funding, and has changed purchasing rules so defence contracts and other sectors must use Canadian steel. Groleau answered that Liberal policies are driving up operating costs for businesses in his riding by millions of dollars and that Conservatives want to help businesses save money. Joly responded that the U.S. imposed the tariffs and that the member should speak out against the U.S. rather than attack the government, adding that she would support projects in his area.Written by AI from the debate.
