Today I joined Prime Minister Mark Carney as he announced a suite of targeted measures to stand behind Canada’s steel industry, protect Canadian careers, and invest in our homegrown industrial capacity to build Canada strong. Canada’s new government will:

  1. Restrict and reduce foreign steel imports entering the Canadian market

  2. Invest in Canadian steel workers and production

  3. Prioritize Canadian steel to build big projects

The steel industry plays a crucial role in the economy of Oakville West employing many workers here as well as fueling our own industries. At this transformative moment in the global economy, Canada is shifting from reliance to resilience as we use Canadian steel to protect our sovereignty, grow our industries, export our energy, and build one strong Canadian economy. It’s time to build big, build bold, and build the strongest economy in the G7 using Canadian steel and I am proud to be a part of a government working to achieve that.
