Canadian Chamber of Commerce Recommends “Buy Local Steel” to Canadian Government
Written by Sandy Williams
Three Canadian Chambers of Commerce presented their concerns about unfairly traded steel to the Federal Government’s Standing Committee on International Trade on March 21. The Sault Ste. Marie Chamber of Commerce and its counterparts from Windsor-Essex and Hamilton were joined by key Canadian steel producers including Essar Steel Algoma, Stelco Inc., Gerdau Long Steel North America and Evraz to discuss how challenges to the steel industry have impacted its ability to compete globally.
SSMCOC CEO Rory Ring presented a report on behalf of the Chambers, discussing not only the impact of steel dumping but the “innovation and ingenuity that has developed as a result of Canada’s steel industry.”
