Thank you very much, Minister, for your testimony and for your action on various things related to the trade file.
I'm from Sault Ste. Marie, which is known as a steel town. When I was first elected, Algoma Steel was in bankruptcy protection. It was right up on the ropes. Tenaris's tubes plant, where you have been, had two dozen people working there. Today, Algoma Steel, after actions taken by this government and your protection of the steel industry.... In 2016, in our first budget, we put in place trade remedies to stop the dumped steel. When I met with this industry and the United Steelworkers right after being elected, they squarely blamed the previous Conservative government for its lack of action on dumped steel.
I want to fast-forward to your latest actions to strengthen the steel industry and protect Canadian jobs and workers.
Can you please tell us more about the 25% tariff on the dumped steel that is coming from China; the protections for the auto sector, where one-third of the steel goes, 100%; and some of the actions that were taken when Trump put his section 232 tariffs on Canadian steel, and we did our anti-tariffs?
Again, the Conservatives called our anti-tariffs dumb. They weren't dumb. We won.
Please go ahead.
