Ottawa is asking recipients of federal grants to switch to using Canadian steel and aluminum instead of U.S. products after the United States implemented 25 percent tariffs on the materials.
In a letter sent to funding recipients on March 17, Industry Minister Anita Anand requested that Canadian steel and aluminum be used “wherever relevant and possible” in response to the U.S. tariffs introduced on March 12.
