Canada Supports Next-Gen Carbon Capture Initiatives
The Government of Canada announced over $14 million in funding to advance carbon capture, utilization, and storage technologies. This initiative, spearheaded by Parliamentary Secretary Marc G. Serré, will support six projects across Ontario, Quebec, and British Columbia, including a notable $3.4 million to Canada Nickel for in-process tailings carbonation technology. These projects aim to reduce CO2 capture costs and enhance carbon storage capabilities, contributing to Canada's net-zero emissions goal by 2050.

Tribunal Reviews Anti-Dumping Measures on Steel
The Canadian International Trade Tribunal has initiated an expiry review on anti-dumping duties for hot-rolled carbon steel plates from Brazil, Denmark, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, and Korea. The review will assess the likelihood of resumed dumping if the duties expire, with determinations expected by July and December 2025. This process involves input from industries and governments, providing an opportunity for stakeholders to influence trade policy impacting domestic manufacturing.
