May 31, 2018-Ottawa, ON -The Canadian Prime Minister, The Right Honourable Justin Trudeau, responded to the unacceptable U.S. steel and aluminum tariffs levied today against Canada.
MP Sheehan had an opportunity to meet today with Prime Minister Trudeau and discuss Canada’s strong retaliatory trade actions against the United States as well as thank him for his swift action in support of steel workers in the Sault & across Canada, as well as our aluminum workers.
“As the Prime Minister and Minister Freeland have said before, we will always stand up for our workers; we are implementing strong retaliatory measures to this attack on our industry.” said Sheehan
MP Sheehan will continue to work with the community to ensure that these measures result in protecting Canadian jobs. It is simply ridiculous to view any trade with Canada as a national security threat to the US and we will continue to stand up for Canadian workers and Canadian businesses.
“I am committed to continue to fight for the steel industry along with the Prime Minister, Minister Freeland, Algoma, Tenaris, United Steel Workers, Sault Ste. Marie Chamber of Commerce, the community and all others in government, to protect the steel industry.” Terry Sheehan
As co-chair of the All-Party Steel Caucus in Ottawa, MP Sheehan is also calling for a meeting next week to discuss the Canadian countermeasures.
