Mr. Speaker, I can give these assurance.
NAFTA provides protection to those Canadian steel producers which export to the United States.
At the moment we do not know if the United States steel industry will petition, but if it does we know from NAFTA that Canada is excluded from safeguard action as long as it is not a substantial contributor to the serious injury.
Our steel industry is a good steel industry and we are fair traders. We will continue to protect it.
