The Canadian Steel Producers Association (CSPA)’s president and chief executive, Catherine Cobden, said in the statement, “The Canadian steel industry welcomes the tabling of the 2030 Emissions Reduction Plan today by Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault in the House of Commons. This plan helps to create more business certainty over the remainder of the decade while providing more details on the measures Canada will deploy to bring the country closer to a net-zero future.”
 
According to the CSPA, the 2030 Emission Reduction Plan highlights the importance of clean electricity grids, carbon capture and storage, and hydrogen, but, Cobden said, “These necessary transformational changes won't just happen on their own. And while today's announcement identifies some critical steps forward, the CSPA is calling on governments to further unlock these new pathways by working with industries and others to directly address key barriers to these solutions such as access, availability and pricing.”
 
"Now that the plan and its elements are on the table, all efforts must be on implementation. The industry remains ready to do our part as a constructive partner."
 
The Canadian Steel Producers Association serves as the voice of Canada's steel and pipe and tube industries.
