The Canadian primary iron and steel industry / by Dr. Lucy Morgan, manager, Economics Department, The Bank of Nova Scotia. : Z1-1955/2-41-15E-PDF

"The Canadian primary iron and steel industry is "primary" mainly in the sense that its finished products are the raw materials of a variety of other manufacturing industries. In the circumstances of its historical development and in its relation to other parts of the economy, however, it is clearly more akin to the recognized secondary industries such as textiles and the metal fabricating industries than to those branches of Canadian manufacturing, notably pulp and paper, sawmilling, and base metal smelting and refining, that are engaged in the primary processing of the country's crude materials largely for the export market. It is not, in general, based on Canadian natural resources, since its raw materials have been and still are largely imported; and it was built up like most of the secondary industries, with tariff protection, to serve the domestic market"--Definition and Description of the Industry, page 1.
