Chinese excess capacity harms Canadian steelworkers and jobs. We commend the Canadian Government's implementation of Section 53 tariffs that protect Canada from unfair trade.

Evidence is piling up. Chinese overcapacity distorts global steel markets. Read this latest report by Wiley which identifies persistent and going government intervention in China’s steel industry: https://lnkd.in/eNQy5m4X

Ontario is reindustrializing after two lost decades. While U.S. manufacturing output grew by 3% between 2002 and 2022, Ontario saw a 14% decline.   In that same period, Ontario’s manufacturing exports increased at a slower rate than all provinces, apart from Prince Edward Island.   To meet the 2035 vision set by Ontario’s Advanced Manufacturing Council, the government’s objective should be to grow our manufacturing sector’s footprint to new production heights.   This means increasing manufacturing’s contribution to Ontario’s economy (real GDP) by 20% by 2035.   Will Ontario be up to the challenge?   Read the final report from the Advanced Manufacturing Council: https://bit.ly/4dIuTSw. #Vision2035 #ManufacturingMonth #ManufacturingReport Victor Fedeli | Dennis Darby P.Eng., ICD.D | Catherine Cobden | Canadian Steel Producers Association (CSPA) | Aynsley Foss | Ontario Mining Association | Peter Frise | Natasha Gagnon | Ontario Aerospace Council | Giles Gherson | Toronto Region Board of Trade | Bob Masterson, C.Dir | Lee McDonald Southmedic Inc
