Carney sending MP Blois to China to help Saskatchewan push back on canola tariffs
Canadian officials, including a parliamentary secretary and Saskatchewan Premier, engage in a trade mission to negotiate removal of China's 75.8% tariff on canola seed affecting billions in exports.
- Scott Moe, the Premier of Saskatchewan, will head a three-day trade mission to China starting Saturday aimed at resolving issues related to tariffs on Canadian canola exports.
- The mission comes in the wake of China imposing a 75.8 per cent tariff on Canadian canola seed last month, a move largely interpreted as retaliation for Canada’s decision to apply a 100 per cent tariff on electric vehicles imported from China.

- The federal government will announce additional support measures for Canadian producers shortly amid ongoing efforts to convince China to remove its canola tariffs.
