Mr. Speaker, the government remains in constant communication with businesses and workers in the steel and aluminum industries.
On April 29, the Prime Minister's new Advisory Committee on Canada-U.S. Economic Relations held its first meeting. This forum will help us better understand the impact of the situation and strengthen our ability to respond to future developments.
While quick responses remain important in the short term, our government will continue to work with industry to develop long-term strategies that build resilience, support workers and position Canadian businesses to succeed in an ever-changing and competitive North American market.
We will always protect Canadian interests and promote stable, predictable and fair international trade.
