Anti-Dumping and Countervailing Duties (SIMA)

(IE Canada)

Western Canada Conference, February 22

Trade remedies in the forms of anti-dumping and countervailing duties are applied to unfairly traded imported goods that would otherwise injure Canadian production. With the downturn in the economy and with a view to lessening competition from imports, Canadian industry is expected to turn increasingly to trade remedies. In recent years, imports into Western Canada, including those used in the oil and gas industry, have faced many challenges of this type and in the near term can expect to be faced with more.

Included in this session:

• the nature of, and process involved in, trade remedy actions

• defending against trade actions

• practical strategies to combat the effects of their application.

Speakers:

Darrel Pearson, Partner, Bennett Jones, LLP
Nicole Stewart, CCS, Lead, Customs, EnCana Corporation (invited)
