Poilievre wants prime minister to reconvene Parliament to discuss rejected trade deal
Poilievre says Parliament must see the rejected deal as 50% U.S. tariffs hit $28 billion in Canadian exports, officials said.
- Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre called on Prime Minister Mark Carney on Monday to reconvene Parliament, demanding transparency on the collapsed U.S. trade deal and the government's retaliation strategy.
- Carney suspended negotiations with the United States on Friday after accusing the administration of introducing last-minute measures restricting Canada's ability to pursue other international deals and protect language and culture.
- On Saturday, the United States imposed new 50 per cent tariffs on billions of dollars in Canadian goods, while President Donald Trump mocked Canada on Truth Social, saying "Canada wants the benefits of being a state, without being one."
- Poilievre demanded the deal's text be released because "Canadians must see it to judge what options are on the table," a demand Canada-U.S. relations critic Shuvaloy Majumdar echoed regarding Parliament's lack of information.
- Carney confirmed retaliatory tariffs will strike the United States starting Sept. 8, though Poilievre warned the failure to secure a durable agreement threatens "deeper economic pain on top of a decade of rising costs.
