International Trade

In question period on international trade, Conservatives said new U.S.-related trade barriers would cost Canada a projected 1.4% of GDP and 185,000 jobs, argued that new trade deals cover only about 1% of the roughly a trillion dollars in annual Canada-U.S. trade, and asked when the Prime Minister would secure a deal with the United States. Government ministers replied that the government is diversifying trade with reliable partners around the world, as promised in the last election, and pointed to recent developments in Alberta. Conservatives also raised the case of Mariposa Dairy in Ontario, which faces a $4.5-million monthly cost from U.S. tariffs and warned the government in March 2025; Minister Mélanie Joly said she was working on the file and that FedDev Ontario had provided funding, with more to come, while Conservatives pressed for a plan to keep the affected farms and workers in business.Written by AI from the debate.
