By Rosalind Russell – The Federation of Northern Ontario Municipalities says there’s a lot to like with new federal measures to support Canada’s steel and softwood lumber industries.
Among other things, the federal plan includes strengthened protections for domestic producers, expanded financial supports for companies facing liquidity pressures and new incentives to increase the use of Canadian steel and lumber in national infrastructure and housing projects.
FONOM says they will help stabilize industries critical to many Northern Ontario communities and provide needed tools for workers and businesses adapting to current trade challenges.
