International Trade Minister Ed Fast today issued the following statement:

“We are disappointed that the U.S. Department of Commerce will impose tariffs on Canadian supercalendered paper due to an unwarranted complaint.

“Canada is also concerned that the U.S. Department of Commerce is not conducting a thorough and complete review. We call on the U.S. Department of Commerce to review all of the facts in this matter.

“Canada takes its international obligations seriously, and we will continue to stand up for Canadian businesses, workers and their families.”
