And in terms of those impacts, what does that look like? Are you seeing job losses in those sectors? What's been the impact?

Guio JacintoGUEST
So, I mean, since the beginning of the trade war, so starting with the Section 232 sectoral tariffs, I think we've had about 1,500 to 2,000 losses or so.

Guio JacintoGUEST
A good chunk of those have I would say about 500 or so have been permanent job losses with some steel mill closures further down the valley chain in southern Ontario.

Guio JacintoGUEST
We have a good chunk of our forestry wood products members that are also on layoff.

Guio JacintoGUEST
We also have a good chunk of our members in those sectors that obviously have have less production demand, less product demand for the products that they're making.

Nick SeabrookHOST
And how has your union responded to these latest tariffs affecting the forestry sector and, of course, to the tariffs going back to March of 2025 affecting steel and aluminum? What's been the response from the steel workers?
