We see challenges from low-cost regions that are importing materials into Canada. We've had a CITT case against China, but we know they are likely transshipping through other countries like Malaysia, Vietnam and Thailand. We don't have the enforcement capability to check mill certificates on all the products that enter our country.
I foresee challenges when Janice sits down across from the folks to negotiate CUSMA 2.0, and they see imports surging into Canada from low-cost regions. They might believe that Canada is a source to transship through into the U.S. for these countries. We need to close that back door, and we need to get back to the normalized levels we had in 2023 and 2024 for imports.
