Having China remove tariffs on Canadian ag and seafood products are among the priorities for the federal government.
Following a meeting with the country’s premiers in Saskatoon, Sask., the prime minister’s office released a statement identifying issues all parties are united on.
“The federal government committed to working urgently to remove Chinese tariffs on Canadian agriculture and seafood products,” the June 2 statement says. “First Ministers emphasized the critical importance of regular and ongoing engagement with China at the highest level to improve the overall trade relationship. In the face of ongoing tariffs, they also discussed opportunities to diversify trade and broaden market access for Canadian exporters.”
