François-Philippe Champagne Liberal
“Most Canadian goods sent to the United States and Mexico do not face tariffs. We will keep defending all our workers and businesses, including the film industry, against unfair foreign tariffs.”
“Madam Chair, I am sure my colleague knows that, under Canada’s free trade agreement with the United States and Mexico, 85% of Canadian exports have exemptions and that Canada has one of lowest tariff rates overall, at around 5%. We will always be here to stand up for the interests of our industries, including culture, of course, as well as film. We are here to stand up for all industries and workers. We will continue to do this for every sector. Here is what I can tell my colleague: He can rest assured that we are here to defend the interests of all industries currently being affected by our neighbours’ unjust tariffs.”
