Canada unveiled major steel industry protection measures on November 28, 2025, through Secretary of State Buckley Belanger's announcement in Regina. The government will slash tariff rate quotas for non-free trade agreement partners from 50% to 20% of 2024 levels & impose 25% tariffs on steel-derivative imports. Buy Canadian procurement policies will require federal contracts over $25 million to prioritize domestic materials. Railway freight rates for interprovincial steel transportation will drop 50% starting spring 2026, unlocking over $1 billion in new domestic demand whilst supporting workforce transitions.
