The looming specter of tariffs has sparked concerns within Canadian industries and prompted discussions on strategies to navigate the evolving trade landscape. As Canada braces for potential impacts on its economy, Trudeau's assurance of a fair distribution of the burden reflects a deliberate approach aimed at safeguarding national interests.
In response to questions on the specifics of the countermeasures, Trudeau reiterated the government's stance to protect Canadian businesses and workers. He emphasized the need for a strategic and coordinated response that considers the diverse economic structures across different regions of the country.
