Finance committee I think it's as simple as that. The fact is that by the time the government did impose, I think it in October, it was just.... To me, that is the simplest answer with regard to why they didn't find harm on the other five. Craig could probably add to that. I'm not sure what your

Finance committee I am, very much so. I think you said yourself that nobody can predict what's going to come out on Twitter tomorrow from President Trump, so of course that's a concern of ours. I think we've witnessed it. We're still getting over the shell shock of how they could impose section 2

Finance committee Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. My name is Ken Neumann. I am the National Director for the United Steelworkers in Canada. With me is Craig Logie, our trade counsel. Thank you, all, for allowing me, on behalf of our members in the steel and aluminum industry, to address this c

International Trade committee Sure, there's no doubt that I understand that Unifor has come out and said they're very happy with what's been negotiated with regard to the tariffs, but at the same time, they should be concerned as well, because they have members in the aluminum industries. They have members in

International Trade committee I think you got my comment: of course.
November 1st, 2018Committee meeting
Ken Neumann
International Trade committee Maybe I'm not getting to the exact question you're asking. If the tariffs are removed and there are no quotas in place, and you have the ability for us to expand our market, I think that's all great. If you can get everybody to play by the same rule book, and not manipulate the
November 1st, 2018Committee meeting
Ken Neumann
International Trade committee To be honest about it, and it's probably hard to say this, but Mr. Trump said something that got everybody's attention. The dumping of steel, the saturation from countries that cheat and manipulate, don't have human rights, don't treat their workers the way that...has been ongoin

Ken Neumann
International Trade committee Sir, let me set the record straight. There are some people who would like to play in the sandbox to make us look bad as an international union. The fact of the matter is that our union is consistent on both sides of the border that these tariffs are absurd, that they should hav

November 1st, 2018Committee meeting
Ken Neumann
International Trade committee I've seen the press releases. The fact is that there's only one union that has come out in favour of it. Look, I support the auto industry. It's important to the industry. We produced the situation. I get that. But the fact is that in these last trade negotiations, Canada sat ou
November 1st, 2018Committee meeting
Ken Neumann
International Trade committee I'm pleased for the auto sector. I'm pleased that it is where it's at, but the fact is that in order to build autos, you need steel and you need aluminum.
November 1st, 2018Committee meeting
Ken Neumann
International Trade committee I know a bit about Mr. Kestenbaum. He's taken over Stelco. I know he had big plans to expand. Because of this cloud hanging over, that's not going to take place. There's a lot at risk. I think Steeltown gets affected hugely. The question really becomes about investment. I'll tel
