Our Statement on the U.S. Court’s Tariff Ruling

We will leave this decision to work its way through the United States courts system. Ultimately, the end of this trade war with the U.S. will not come through the courts. It will come when we have negotiated a durable, new agreement on trade that is trusted and respected by all involved. Currently, there remains sectoral tariffs as well as other trade barriers on the table. Businesses in Canada and globally are awaiting a real and complete reprieve from trade disruptions, looking for lasting security, stability and resilience. The impact of tariffs continues to work its way through every level of the economy, leaving businesses and workers to face the punishing realities of uncertainty.
