Thank you for the question.
There are several things to consider. At the start of the conflict, many Canadian producers believed that the legal route would serve the Canadian industry well. So that was the route that was followed as a priority at the outset. Unfortunately, this option did not work out well for the Canadian industry.
In addition, the Minister of Foreign Affairs at the time had to deal with the fact that Canadian industry was not always well aligned with American industry, which made things difficult for her. This is no longer the case today, as our industry is well aligned with that of the U.S.
