Canadian steel firms say weak tariff response risks wider layoffs
A group of Canadian steel producers said the government's plan to restrict foreign steel imports isn't strong enough and warned that the industry is set to shed thousands more jobs because of U.S. tariffs. Article content Prime Minister Mark Carney's government introduced new tariff-rate quotas last week to limit imports of steel and said it may adjust tariffs on U.S. steel products on July 21, depending on the status of trade talks with the Trump administration. Article content Article content The U.S. has increased tariffs on foreign steel and aluminum to 50%. So far, Canada has decided not to match that, keeping its retaliatory levies at 25%. Article content Article content 'We have significantly dropped shipments and have experienced close to 1,000 job losses to date and are preparing for thousands more,' Catherine Cobden, chief executive officer of the Canadian Steel Producers Association, said in a statement Thursday. 'We are concerned that the immediate measures fail to address the crisis we are in.' Article content The tariff-rate quotas apply to steel-exporting countries that Canada doesn't have a trade agreement with. They only kick in if those countries exceed the volumes of steel they shipped to Canada last year. That 'will do little to support our industry,' said the CSPA, which represents producers including Algoma Steel Group Inc. and ArcelorMittal SA. Article content Article content The United Steelworkers union also criticized the government's plan as 'too narrow,' saying it doesn't apply to two-thirds of imports to Canada, including from countries including South Korea and Vietnam, 'despite repeated dumping violations.'

Opinion: Turbulence ahead — the real impact of proposed deregulation of Canada's skies
On June 19, the Competition Bureau of Canada released its final report on airline industry competition: 'Cleared for takeoff: Elevating airline competition.' Its central recommendations? That Canada consider allowing foreign-owned airlines to operate domestic routes and re-evaluate current ownership limits. By proposing to eliminate cabotage restrictions and foreign ownership limits, the bureau's suggestions threaten to unravel the very infrastructure that sustains Canada's aviation sector, with devastating consequences for workers, communities and national sovereignty. As the union representing over 16,000 airport workers across the country, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers sees these proposals not as policy progress, but as a direct threat to Canadian jobs, an erosion of our national aviation infrastructure and a dangerous precedent for public policy driven by short-term economics instead of long-term, Canadian public interest.

The U.S. strictly prohibits foreign carriers from operating domestic routes, and other regions — like the European Union — only allow such access among member states. Opening our skies unilaterally would offer foreign carriers privileges they don't extend to us. While we recognize that the airline industry needs reform, deregulating access to our domestic market isn't reform. It's a retreat. Canada's aviation sector operates under complex constraints: vast geography, regional routes that are economically and logistically essential but unprofitable, and a regulatory environment already strained by fees and infrastructure gaps. The bureau's proposal to allow foreign carriers to fly domestic routes — also known as cabotage — assumes all competitors arrive equally burdened. They do not. No major nation, including the U.S., offers Canada the same access. Foreign airlines would be invited to pick the most profitable routes without contributing to the rest of the network. That's not competition. It's market cherry-picking, and it undermines the carriers and workers who keep the full system running. For thousands of Canadians, airport jobs are often unionized, come with decent wages, benefits and job security, and offer permanence increasingly rare in the broader labour market. Our members are the backbone of the aviation economy. Foreign operators with no commitment to Canada will just bring lower wages, fewer benefits and more precarious, outsourced labour. This isn't speculation — it's history. We've seen it deteriorate countless Canadian airlines — from Canada 3000 to Jetsgo to Canadian Airlines International — and there's no evidence this time will be different. What makes these recommendations particularly troubling is the lack of labour consultation throughout the bureau's study. Only one labour union was interviewed over the course of a 13-month process, despite the airline sector employing tens of thousands of unionized workers. While the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers provided a detailed written submission to the bureau, we were never interviewed. Without input from the front-line workforce, these policy recommendations lack the perspective needed to understand their full impact. Our airlines operate in one of the most challenging geographies on Earth. They serve small towns, remote communities and Indigenous territories where air travel isn't a luxury — it's a lifeline. Foreign carriers, with no long-term investment in our infrastructure or workforce, will swoop in for the profitable urban corridors — Toronto to Vancouver, Montreal to Calgary — leaving Canadian carriers to shoulder the financial burden of essential, unprofitable routes. Once weakened, Canadian carriers will collapse — and with them, thousands of jobs. If Ottawa opens the door to foreign operators without long-term obligations, what happens when those players exit the market in a downturn? Who ensures continued service to the north? Who remains accountable to Parliament? The answer can't be: 'Whoever's left.' If the goal is a better system, let's fix what's broken. We don't dispute that Canada's aviation system has problems. But they begin with issues that tend to be ignored: airport rent and landing fees, overburdened infrastructure, outdated navigation systems and underinvestment in regional access. Fixing these problems requires political will, not privatizing the problem and hoping it solves itself. Canada has a responsibility to foster competition that serves the Canadian public, not foreign corporations. That means strengthening our airlines, protecting our workers and building an aviation system rooted in resilience, not deregulation. These are national priorities, not global business opportunities to be auctioned off to the highest bidder. The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers urges the Canadian government to reject the competition bureau's recommendations on cabotage and foreign ownership. These proposals may promise cheaper fares, but they will come at the cost of sovereignty, safety and economic stability. Our skies aren't for sale. And the people who keep them running shouldn't pay the price. David Chartrand is the Canadian general vice-president of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, which represents over 50,000 members in Canada. He has been involved in the labour movement for more than 35 years.
