Industry Minister Mélanie Joly says Quebec's aluminum sector is likely to receive "hundreds of millions of dollars" from a $5 billion fund to help sectors slammed by U.S. tariffs. Nearly all of Canada's aluminum is produced in Quebec. Joly said Monday the federal government hasn't determined yet exactly how the tariff support fund will be divided. "The Quebec aluminum sector will get its fair share.
