This question has several components.
Countries are required to implement monitoring systems under the free trade agreement. Canada was the first country to do so. In March, the Americans implemented their own monitoring system for aluminum imports. Mexico is lagging behind, for a variety of reasons.
Canada and the United States must now team up to pressure Mexico to close this door, which could lead to fraudulent imports. In terms of the American administration recognizing the low carbon footprint of our metal, this will take some time and effort.
At this time, international financial markets are increasingly taking into account the carbon footprint of aluminum when calculating the cost of funding projects. If you're planning to buy or export low-carbon aluminum, or you want to expand your production capacity, your funding costs may be lower in the international markets. The carbon footprint is now part of the risk factors analyzed.
That said, when it comes to government procurement, we can't as a country force the United States to consider this concept if we fail to lead by example. We need the Canadian and provincial governments to look at the carbon footprint of the products in their procurement systems and then tell their partners to do the same. This is fundamental. Until we use our procurement rules to buy innovative low-carbon products and solutions, it's very difficult to lecture others.
