Saskatchewan Trade Minister Jeremy Harrison says steel products from other countries are being dumped into Canada, at non-competitive rates. He says its coming mostly from state-owned companies in Asia. Harrison says the dumping is the result of the U-S government’s 25 per cent steel tariffs, and he says it is having a major impact on domestic manufacturers. Harrison says they’ve been working with the federal government to address the matter and protect Saskatchewan jobs. He says the federal government has announced a safeguard consultation period, but more action is needed. EVRAZ Regina is the largest steel company in western Canada making steel plate and coil, small and large diameter pipe, and oil and gas well tubing for the energy sector. EVRAZ Regina can employ more than a thousand people. (ckrm)
