Finance committee  I don't think the U.S. tariffs have anything to do with Canada imposing measures on other countries. While there have been reports that the U.S. was concerned about transshipment, we never had discussions with the United States about specific concerns of theirs with transshipment

Finance committee  I don't think so. At the beginning, he mentioned the link to NAFTA. At first we thought that. We did explore the issue of whether there was something we could do on transshipment, but we never discovered what the problem was with transshipment.

International Trade committee  For your first question about China, I can't really speak to the climate change implications. That's an important issue. Certainly, developing countries say that it should be developed countries that take the burden of addressing emissions. There are multilateral agreements on cl

International Trade committee  The issue about trade-intensive industries and the impact of carbon-intensive imports is something that's part of the emissions discussions domestically. In terms of what Global Affairs Canada is doing, certainly on the steel file, we recognize that China has 400 million tonnes

International Trade committee  I would just add that, as Paul said, they have an exemption that allows them to have Buy American policies, but the Canadian representatives in Washington and our counsel are quite active in advocating for exemptions for Canada or certainly trying to stop the U.S. from expanding
