SPECIAL IMPORT MEASURES ACT
Certain corrosion-resistant steel sheet — Decision
On January 30, 2020, pursuant to subsection 39(1) of the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA), the Canada Border Services Agency extended the time period for making preliminary determinations with respect to the investigations into the alleged injurious dumping and subsidizing of certain corrosion-resistant steel sheet originating in or exported from the Republic of Turkey, the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, and the United Arab Emirates.
SIMA provides that, under normal circumstances, the preliminary stage of the investigations shall be completed within 90 days of the date of initiation. However, due to the complexity and novelty of the issues presented by the investigations, the period has been extended to 135 days, pursuant to subsection 39(1) of SIMA.
Consequently, the preliminary determinations will be made on or before March 20, 2020.

INTERNATIONAL JOINT COMMISSION
BOUNDARY WATERS TREATY OF 1909
Public hearing on proposed nutrient concentration objectives and nutrient load targets for the Red River
The International Joint Commission (IJC) has announced that it is inviting public comment on recommendations made by the International Red River Board (IRRB) in a report describing proposed nutrient concentration objectives and nutrient load targets for the Red River at the boundary between the United States and Canada. Comments will be accepted at a public hearing to be held on February 12, 2020, in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Comments can also be sent by email (Commission@ottawa.ijc.org or Commission@washington.ijc.org) and online until February 28, 2020.
The IRRB’s full report can be found on the IJC website.
Public hearing on the IRRB report on proposed nutrient water quality objectives
- Date: February 12, 2020
- Time: 7–9 p.m.
- Location: Four Points by Sheraton Winnipeg South, 2935 Pembina Highway, Winnipeg, Manitoba, R3T 2H5
The Commission reports on water quality of the Red River as it crosses the boundary pursuant to a reference under Article IX of the Boundary Waters Treaty of 1909 (the Treaty) between the United States and Canada. Commission recommendations to the two federal governments under Article IX references of the Treaty are not binding and not to be considered decisions of the two federal governments.
The International Red River Board was established by the Commission in part to assist in reporting on the water quality of the Red River as it crosses the boundary and to recommend amendments or additions to the water quality objectives approved by the U.S. and Canadian governments in 1968 when considered warranted by the Commission.
In the 2000s, the IRRB identified nutrients as an issue of concern. The Board established a water quality committee to develop recommendations for potential nutrient load allocations and/or targets. At the IRRB’s September 2019 meeting, the Board agreed to recommend the following nutrient concentration objectives and nutrient load targets for the Red River at the boundary between the United States and Canada:
Nutrient concentration objective
-
Total phosphorus0.15 mg/L
-
Total nitrogen1.15 mg/L
Application
- Seasonal average (April 1–October 30)
Nutrient load target
-
Total phosphorus1 400 tonnes/year
-
Total nitrogen9 525 tonnes/year
Application
- Five-year running average
Commissioners will be present to hear comments at the above-referenced public hearing in Winnipeg, Manitoba, on February 12, 2020, from 7 to 9 p.m. A public comment period on the IRRB report will also be open through February 28, 2020. Public input is essential to the Commission’s consideration of a recommendation to the governments of the United States and Canada.
The International Joint Commission was established under the Boundary Waters Treaty of 1909 to help the United States and Canada prevent and resolve disputes over the use of the waters the two countries share. Its responsibilities include investigating and reporting on issues of concern when asked by the governments of the two countries. For more information, visit the Commission’s website.
