联邦新民主党领袖阿维·刘易斯和安大略省新民主党领袖玛丽特·斯蒂尔斯呼吁联邦政府国有化总部位于汉密尔顿的钢铁制造商Stelco，就在工业部长梅拉尼·乔利表示裁员违反了该公司在《投资加拿大法》下的协议之际。
Federal NDP Leader Avi Lewis and Ontario NDP Leader Marit Stiles are calling on the federal government to nationalize Hamilton-based steelmaker Stelco, amid layoffs Industry Minister Mélanie Joly says violate the company's agreement under the Investment Canada Act.
周二在一份声明中，刘易斯表示，联邦政府应在Stelco的美国所有者克利夫利夫斯公司违背其承诺后采取“立即行动”——该公司在2024年收购Stelco时承诺将维持相同数量的工会工人和类似数量的非工会工人五年。
In a release Tuesday, Lewis said the federal government should take "immediate action" after Stelco's American owner Cleveland-Cliffs broke its commitment to maintain the same number of unionized workers and similar numbers of non-union workers for five years when it bought the company in 2024.
克利夫利夫斯首席执行官表示，他准备因Stelco裁员而在法庭上与加拿大对抗。乔利已誓言将克利夫利夫斯告上法庭，她周六在X平台的一篇帖子中表示，“所有选项都在桌面上”，因为政府律师正在考虑下一步行动。但刘易斯周二表示，走司法程序将花费太长时间，无法及时拯救那些岗位岌岌可危的工人。
Cleveland-Cliffs CEO says he's prepared to fight Canada in court over Stelco layoffs Joly has vowed to take Cleveland-Cliffs to court, saying Saturday in a post on X that "all options are on the table" as government lawyers consider next steps. But Lewis said Tuesday that going through the courts will take too long to save those whose jobs are in the crosshairs.
“加拿大承受不起失去钢铁工业的后果，”他说。“如果我们真的想拯救这些岗位和加拿大钢铁工业，我们需要立即行动。”刘易斯指出，英国在7月国有化了英国钢铁公司，称此举保护了“数千个岗位”。9月，英国政府宣布计划对另一家钢铁制造商Specialty Steel进行公开收购。
"Canada cannot afford to lose its steel industry," he said. "If we’re serious about saving these jobs and the Canadian steel industry, we need immediate action." Lewis noted that the United Kingdom nationalized British Steel in July, saying the move protected "thousands of jobs." In September, the U.K. government announced plans for the public takeover of another steelmaker, Specialty Steel.
刘易斯还抨击了克利夫利夫斯首席执行官洛伦索·贡卡尔维斯，后者曾表示支持导致这些裁员的美国对外国钢铁的关税，称这些关税“旨在使我们的经济去工业化并摧毁我们的制造业基础”。贡卡尔维斯坚持认为，公司依法有权进行裁员，因为这些裁员是临时性的，直至加拿大和美国达成贸易协议。
Lewis also jabbed at Cleveland-Cliffs CEO Lourenco Goncalves, who has expressed support for the U.S. tariffs on foreign steel that led to these layoffs, saying they "are designed to deindustrialize our economy and destroy our manufacturing base." Goncalves maintains the company is within the law to conduct layoffs because they are temporary, until Canada and the United States reach a trade deal.
“合同中没有规定我必须在五年内每一天都维持一定的就业水平，”贡卡尔维斯在周日对加拿大广播公司（CBC）表示。“如果那是加拿大联邦政府强加的，我绝不会接受。”
"There is no provision in the contract that I have to keep employment at a certain level every single day of the five years," Goncalves told CBC's on Sunday. "If that was an imposition of the Canadian government, I would not have accepted."
安大略新民主党敦促福特为钢铁业提供救助 在周二于皇后公园发表讲话时，斯蒂尔斯敦促安大略省省长道格·福特“与联邦政府合作，迫使克利夫兰-克利夫斯放弃其在Stelco的所有权，并建立公有制和加拿大管理层。”
Ontario NDP says Ford should offer steel industry relief Speaking at Queen's Park on Tuesday, Stiles pushed for Ontario Premier Doug Ford to "work with the federal government to push Cleveland-Cliffs to give up their ownership interest in Stelco and establish public ownership and Canadian management."
她说：“不这么做的代价是数千个就业岗位，是衍生就业，是整个汉密尔顿社区都会受到冲击。如果我们让Stelco倒闭，行业将遭受损失。” 斯蒂尔斯及其来自汉密尔顿的安大略新民主党同僚——省议员桑迪·肖和罗宾·伦诺克斯——在当天发布的声明中还表示，福特应“回到工作岗位，为钢铁业提供关税减免方案”，并推出“安大略优先采购”策略。安大略省政府目前正处于为期21周的暑期休会中，将于10月27日结束。
“The cost of not doing this is thousands of jobs. It’s spinoffs. It’s the whole community of Hamilton that is impacted," she said. “The industry will lose out if we let Stelco go under.”In a release issued the same day, Stiles and her Ontario NDP colleagues from Hamilton — MPPs Sandy Shaw and Robin Lennox — also said Ford should "get back to work and deliver a tariff relief package for the steel industry," as well as a "Buy Ontario First" procurement strategy. The Ontario government remains on a 21-week summer break that ends Oct. 27.
安大略省议会休会21周至10月底 CBC汉密尔顿分台曾向福特办公室询问对国有化呼吁的回应，但截至发稿时未收到回复。
Ontario Legislature rising for 21-week summer break until end of October CBC Hamilton asked Ford's office for a response to the calls for nationalization but did not hear back by the time of publication.
当上周被问及其政府是否会考虑此类行动时，总理马克·卡尼表示，他将等待听取克利夫兰-克利夫斯对乔利要求复职的信函的回复，然后“采取适当行动”。该公司此后拒绝撤销裁员决定。
When asked last week whether his government would consider such an action, Prime Minister Mark Carney said he would wait to hear Cleveland-Cliffs' response to Joly's letter demanding the jobs be reinstated, and then he would "take appropriate action." The company has since declined to reverse the layoffs.
Stelco称尽管渥太华威胁法律行动，汉密尔顿裁员仍在进行 现在是考虑公有制的时候了，教授说 皇后大学法学院和政策研究学院副教授尼古拉斯·兰普上周告诉CBC汉密尔顿分台，他认为政府应在加拿大失去钢铁专业知识之前介入并实行公有制。
Stelco says Hamilton layoffs still happening despite Ottawa's threats of legal action Time now to consider public ownership, prof says Nicolas Lamp, associate professor at the faculty of law and school of policy studies at Queen's University, told CBC Hamilton last week he thinks the government should step in and take public ownership before Canada's steel expertise is lost.
“目前，加拿大正在大力投资基础设施建设、大型工厂及各类重大项目；在这种情况下，我们真的需要思考：是否应该任由这些专业人才和技能就这样被浪费掉（即是否应该让这些资源白白流失）。”他说。
“At the moment when Canada is trying to build a lot of infrastructure, major plants, major projects, it's really a question of whether Canada should just let all that expertise kind of die," he said.
兰普以2018年加拿大政府从金德摩根（Kinder Morgan）手中收购跨山输油管道为例，说明了联邦政府是如何从私营企业手中接管大型基础设施项目的。
Lamp pointed to the purchase of the Trans Mountain pipeline from Kinder Morgan in 2018 as an example of the federal government taking on major infrastructure from a private company. “I'm not saying we should definitely nationalize it,” he said.
“我并不是说我们必须将这些企业国有化，”他说，“但我认为加拿大政府必须仔细审视这些裁员行为的真正原因，并思考：如果有一家更体谅员工利益、同时也能维护加拿大国家利益的公司，它是否会采取类似的措施。”
“I would say that the Canadian government really has to look very closely at what the reasons for these layoffs are and whether a company that was more sympathetic — that had the Canadian workers and also the Canadian national interest in mind — would act similarly.”Could Canada nationalize Stelco in Hamilton?
“加拿大政府是否应该将位于汉密尔顿的Stelco公司国有化呢？渥太华应该认真考虑这个选项，”这位法律专家表示。上周，联邦保守党领袖皮埃尔·波利耶夫雷（Pierre Poilievre）表示支持政府对Stelco采取法律行动；他在周二再次重申了这一立场，并指出解决这一问题的最佳办法是达成一项免除关税的协议。
Ottawa should consider it, legal expert says Last week, federal Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said he supports the government taking legal action against Stelco. He reiterated that Tuesday, but said the best way to fix this problem would be getting a deal to remove the tariffs. "Our message to the prime minister is get back to the table and get a tariff-free deal," he said in Windsor on Tuesday.
“我们向总理传达的信息是：请重新回到谈判桌前，达成一项免除关税的协议，”他在温莎说道，“Stelco、Stellantis、福特以及其他所有依赖贸易的公司里的员工都在期待总理能够信守承诺、达成这项协议。”
"The workers at Stelco, Stellantis, Ford and every other trade-dependent company in this country are relying on the PM to keep his word and get a deal."
“确保Stelco公司员工就业的唯一办法，就是让卡尼（Carney）促成一项免除关税的协议，”波利耶夫雷总结道。
Only way to guarantee Stelco jobs is for Carney to 'get a tariff-free deal': Poilievre
