Canada can’t afford to let its steel industry rust while the world builds. U.S. tariffs and cheap offshore steel are hitting Ontario hard, costing jobs, driving up costs and threatening the future of an industry that powers our energy, housing and defense projects.
At the same time, governments are planning record levels of investment in public infrastructure. The demand for steel is about to surge, creating both a risk and an opportunity.
Our new paper, The Steel Imperative, lays out how we can protect jobs, stabilize costs, and make made-in-Ontario steel the backbone of our next generation of growth.
-
Implement a domestic strategic steel procurement program
-
Onshore and expand domestic production
-
Retool for competitiveness and upskill the workforce
With smart, coordinated policy, Canada can secure its supply, protect jobs, and ensure every tonne of steel that builds our future is made here at home.
