International Trade committee  As I mentioned with LNG Canada, it's unfortunate. It's a large project. There are a lot of Canadian fabricators available capacity-wise that could provide it. We have provided the module steel from Saint John, New Brunswick, all the way to Alberta for modules for the oil industry

International Trade committee  Not yet. We had hoped that the tariffs would disappear with the signing of the new trade agreement. Unfortunately, they did not. We will probably have to proceed with that now.

International Trade committee  That would be great. We would appreciate that.

International Trade committee  It affects us quite badly on plate items. As I mentioned before, in some of our projects, we're competing against offshore fabricators, and offshore fabricators do not have to worry about, for example, the tariffs on fabricated steel coming into Canada. At least some countries

International Trade committee  I think we should have been more selective about where we put it, and on the steel that was definitely not available in Canada and not being produced in Canada at that time, we should not have been putting duties on that material.

International Trade committee  Right now, about 60% of our work is in the U.S. As I mentioned before, because some of the sizes are not available in Canada, we have to bring that in from the U.S., fabricate it, and then export it back out again. For the moment, we can get a clawback on that, but there are so

International Trade committee  Thank you for the invitation to speak to this committee. Ocean Steel and Construction Ltd. is a structural steel fabricator with its head office in Saint John, New Brunswick. We have fabrication plants in Saint John and Fredericton, New Brunswick. We employ a total of about 200
