Minister of Finance announcement concerning Anti-Dumping Duty Remission Order on certain gypsum board

The Government of Canada is committed to helping the residents of Fort McMurray, Alberta, rebuild following the devastating wildfires, and to protecting middle class jobs by ensuring fairness for entrepreneurs in Western Canada.

Finance Minister Bill Morneau joined families and community leaders in Fort McMurray today to announce that the Government of Canada is taking action to help Western Canadians affected by the exceptional price increases and supply shortages of building materials due to anti-dumping duties imposed on imported drywall from the United States.

Minister Morneau confirmed the Government has reduced anti-dumping duties on imported drywall from the U.S. into Western Canada by lowering the minimum import prices by more than 32 per cent.
