Look, be it two years or three years—and we probably have not talked about it—this dumping problem didn't start last year or the year before. This has been a problem for many years. Unfortunately, we haven't had the mechanism, to a large degree, in Canada, to deal with it as quickly or as efficiently as we possibly could.
If anything, this has, hopefully, opened the eyes of all politicians. The fact is that we can become very vulnerable. No one ever anticipated we'd have this section 232. Never in my wildest dreams did I think Canada would be seen as a national security threat, but it is what it is. We suffered for eleven and a half months. We're now starting to tighten and bring in some legislation to put the right things in order.
One of the biggest complaints the U.S. had, during the OECD meetings we attended in Paris, was that Canada was not protecting its industry. There's some truth to that. If you look at Mexico, the European Union and all this other stuff, that's an issue. That's one of the reasons they were a bit reluctant to get to where we're finally at.
The bigger picture is—if you look at the 540 million tonnes of overcapacity—it's not just Canada, Mexico and the United States. You have to get your global partnerships, be it the European Union.... Some of the people who play by the rules have to find a mechanism for how to deal. You can't say, “We're going to shut down trade.” Of course, trade's important in every economy. The fact is, it has to be fairer trade. Until such time as governments of all stripes take that issue in hand, and try to come up with some mechanism to get rid of the dumping.... The dumping didn't just start this last year; the dumping's been there for a while.
