Finance committee  Yes. Sure. We had weekly meetings with CBSA officials and industry, and participation also from the union. We identified some areas of, I wouldn't call them deficiency, but areas where the system was maybe not as transparent and where there were tools that were available, used b

Finance committee  If I can jump on top of what Catherine is saying, over the last 10 years, we've been discussing the challenges and how exporters are willing to use whatever trick they can to gain more market in stable industrial markets like Canada. Canada's trade remedy system needs to continue

Finance committee  I won't make a comment from my product category necessarily, but just to give you an idea, for a benchmark hot rolled coil that is either in China or in the United States, those costs go up and down, and to give you an idea, they are lower today than they were. I look at about $7

Finance committee  I wanted to share another volatility. We are producing products for energy tubulars. A nine-month period of time followed the investigation in the United States on section 232 where we had a 71% increase in non-mapped imports of energy tubulars. That was an increase from more tha

Finance committee  Perhaps I could interrupt there. We are a consumer when it comes to inputs as part of our manufacturing process in Calgary. The steel we use in Calgary is manufactured in Hamilton and in Sault Ste. Marie. It's further evidence that steel producers are reaching out across the co

Finance committee  Thank you, and thank you for accommodating me by telephone. As a short introduction, Tenaris is a global steel company. We are also committed to local manufacturing, so in Canada we have around 1,000 employees in normal times. We have operations in Calgary, Edmonton and Sault S

International Trade committee  The side letter on 232 provides roughly a 40% growth opportunity for Canada's auto industry, so if it were able to fill that in, it would be good for the steel industry.

International Trade committee  I don't know off the top of my head, but I think the number might be 166 responses to the public inquiry, which is a fairly large number. The provincial governments have been working with the federal government, and I know that in my province, the NDP government had their officia

International Trade committee  I would like to reiterate our thanks to all three parties and the provincial governments and federal government for working together to obtain a NAFTA solution, USMCA. I think if we can put those same resources together to obtain a full exclusion from the 232 and to make a safegu

International Trade committee  I would just like to point out that we should keep this in context. The process for remission from the retaliatory duties to the United States has been very simple and very straightforward. I know many people who have applied. The result isn't there yet, but it's completely diffe

International Trade committee  I'll try to be quite short, because the Steel Producers Association has an updated brief we could share. Again, we need more transparency and more speed, and it's a continuous challenge to make sure that the normal values are reflective of what they should be. If they become stal

International Trade committee  These measures have now been in place for roughly nine months, and I might prefer to share it in writing. Specifically, though, there were increases to the CBSA resources. There have been adjustments to the way normal values can be calculated. For example, the use of a particular

International Trade committee  Yes. I'm vice-chair of the CME.

International Trade committee  It's an extremely common challenge. That's where these business associations do such a good job by sharing out briefings. There is an economist on staff. There are people who can come out to sites in order to help with these things. In particular, there are public consultations

International Trade committee  First I want to commend the government for taking the courage to study this, and also to be open. They had a very generous public consultation period that allowed buyers of steel—users of steel—to have their feedback as well. I think being consultative is correct, but now that
