Capon of Du Pont of Canada warns at the 88th annual Society of the Chemical Industry meeting in Canada that worldwide tariff cuts and wage parity with the United States threaten Canada’s chemical sector.

He says foreign subsidiaries and parent company access to technology complicate national policy decisions and may erode local control.
