This issue comes as a result of the determination from the International Trade Commission (ITC), in a 5-0 vote, that unfair Canadian subsidies on supercalendared paper were unlawfully hurting Maine businesses, like Madison Paper. Congressman Poliquin released the following statement: "As I have said before, this final order from the DOC is a victory for Madison Paper and a victory for Maine workers," said Congressman Poliquin. This decision will preserve more than 200 jobs at Madison Paper and keep the facility operating and producing their quality product. "For months, I have made it a top priority to investigate these unfair trade practices and job-killing subsidies from Canada that have been detrimental to Maine's businesses. It is unacceptable that so many Maine families have lost work because of these illegal trade practices. "This final order is a critical step forward in growing jobs in Maine, but it's certainly not the end of the fight. As Maine's Second District Congressman, I will continue to fight for Maine jobs and fight to end unfair trade policies." | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
