Thank you.
Those tariffs led to retaliatory measures by Canada. Of course, they strained trade relations with Canada until they were lifted in 2019. In 2020, a WTO panel found that the U.S. section 301 tariffs on imports from China violated the United States' obligations under the GATT.
In 2022, a WTO panel ruled that the U.S. section 232 tariffs on steel and aluminum violated global trade rules. That's three times—2018, 2020, and 2022—in six years that the United States tried to impose tariffs on steel and aluminum—in that case on Canada and China—and all three times these were ruled illegal. However, you have said, I think, that you want to integrate our position, and I think your organization has called for a 25% tariff on all melt and pour Chinese steel entering Canada.
I'm just curious. Obviously, we don't want to get into a trade war, and when tariffs start flying, retaliation occurs. I met with the canola growers of Canada this morning who have already been hit. Shouldn't we adopt a procedure where, if people think there's dumping or there are violations of trade rules, they go to the WTO and make their case first, instead of imposing tariffs that, I can tell you have, in the last six years, as done illegally by United States every two years, caused all sorts of economic disruption, including to Canada? What's your view on that?
