The Canadian iron and steel industry is about 15% of the size of the U.S. industry. Raw steel production equaled 15 million net tons in 1994. About 60% of Canadian steel production is from integrated mills using the basic oxygen process and the remaining percentage is from electric arc furnaces in minimills – the same shares as in the U.S. There are four integrated mills and 19 minimills in Canada. One of the minimills is integrated with a direct reduction of iron plant. In addition, there are several secondary processing plants located near the main processing producing areas in Ontario and Quebec.
