Congressman Poliquin released the following statement: "This decision from the ITC investigation 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. "The ITC's unanimous decision in this investigation 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." As a result of the ITC's determination, the Department of Commerce will finalize a countervailing duty order on imports of supercalendared paper from Canada. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
