Carney meets business leaders to discuss U.S. trade, says PM's office
The prime minister briefed 23 companies on trade fallout and economic growth plans after tariffs were imposed on $20 billion in Canadian goods.
- On Monday, Prime Minister Mark Carney met with business leaders from 23 companies to discuss Canada's trade relationship with the United States, focusing on government priorities for economic growth and investment.
- Trade negotiations with the United States collapsed on Aug. 21 after Carney rejected the final agreement, describing terms as "unfair" and "uneconomic" because they undermined Canada's net benefits.
- Alongside trade discussions, Carney named Dominic Barton as chair of Invest in Canada, replacing CEO Laurel Broten. Attendees included RBC, Enbridge, Bell Canada, and Bombardier.
- Following the collapse, the United States imposed 50 per cent tariffs on $20 billion of Canadian products. The government announced a $7.5 billion package to support affected domestic industries.
- Economists project more than 90,000 potential job losses due to tariffs, which may complicate inflation. Retaliatory Canadian tariffs on American imports take effect on Sept. 8.
