Steel sector praises new federal measures, wants to see tariff remission program end

OTTAWA — The head of Canada's steel industry association says there was one disappointment in Prime Minister Mark Carney's otherwise helpful package of measures to boost the domestic market in the face of U.S. tariffs.
Carney announced new measures Wednesday to help steel and lumber producers find fresh markets for their goods within Canada.
They include tighter quotas on foreign steel entering Canada and a promise to trim freight rates for materials crossing provincial borders by rail.
