Dominic LeBlanc: “I'm very, very confident that these decisions, if it's in a referendum or if it's in an election, are made by Canadians…”

Our first priority remains on protecting and supporting Canadian workers, farmers, families, and businesses from these unjustified actions.

When the U.S. is ready to engage, our government will work in good faith and constructively towards a more secure mutually beneficial trading relationship that fully respects Canadian sovereignty.

We look forward to further constructive U.S. clarifications on their other positions which would create the possibility of a mutually beneficial trade agreement that respects Canadian sovereignty.

Canada welcomes that the U.S. is now withdrawing its positions on discoverability and labelling and is confirming that measures to promote French language and Canadian culture will not be subject to future U.S. trade actions.
