When it comes to federal support, the agriculture industry is the top priority for Canadians.
That’s according to a Nanos survey conducted for CTV News.
Nanos polled 1,032 Canadians between Oct. 27 and 30 and asked the following question:
“Thinking about the impact of US tariffs in Canada, which industry do you think the federal government should prioritize in terms of supporting to help counter US tariffs?”
29 per cent, or about 299 people, indicated the agriculture sector should receive the most support. 24 per cent of respondents, or around 247 people, chose the auto sector as priority.
The survey also asked Canadians to identify which sector should receive the second most amount of federal support.
19 per cent of those surveyed, or about 196 Canadians, chose agriculture. Another 18 per cent, or 185 people, selected the auto industry.
