Finance committee  Absolutely. That would be one of the key situations that the anti-circumvention legislation is intended to address. There are two key types of circumvention. The first would be a modification to a product that falls outside the existing scope of a trade remedy measure. This could be a modification that doesn't change the essential characteristics of the product or how it's ultimately used, but it does change it enough that it falls outside the scope of the measure.

Finance committee  Circumvention practices aren't necessarily a violation of trade law, in the sense that making modifications to a product or to your trade patterns isn't necessarily a violation of any law, but if it can be shown that these practices are being undertaken solely for the purposes of avoiding duties, then we'll be able to extend the duties to those goods.

Finance committee  The majority of Canada's trade remedy measures apply to the steel industry, so I believe around two-thirds of our trade remedy measures relate to steel products, and the majority of those measures would relate to China. Many other Asian countries are also implicated, but China is the main target.
