Codes vary province to province across Canada and snow and wind loads are specked to location. I'd never heard of sheeting under steel till I moved back from Alberta. Out there with the LOW humidity condensation is never an issue. Helped a friend build a house last summer, he's only 2-3 hours away but the snow load is way higher. When I specked the rafters I couldn't believe we needed 2x10's on 16 inch centers. Electrical and plumbing vary as well.
Sasquatch,
Galvanized steel is now the same price as shingles. This was $78 per square and shingles are around $25 a bundle (3 bundles to the square). Quite a premium for painted though.

Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
