Steel industry pins hopes on Buy Canadian in budget — but that won’t solve all woes
AI Article Summary

These provisions, while offering some protection, are not expected to fully counteract the impact of U.S. tariffs. Industry stakeholders hope that these budget initiatives will bring some stability to ongoing projects. However, the broader issues of tariffs and market volatility remain significant hurdles.

For Canadian builders, this means they must prepare for potential impacts on timelines and costs due to tariffs and the intricacies of supply chain adjustments. Embracing government policies can provide some buffer, but strategic planning is essential to navigate these uncertainties effectively.
