Carney sending MP to China to push back against canola tariffs

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 04 Sep, 2025 09:12 AM
  • Carney sending MP to China to push back against canola tariffs

Prime Minister Mark Carney's parliamentary secretary will join Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe on a trade mission to China later this week.

The Prime Minister's Office says Kody Blois, Liberal MP for Kings—Hants, will take part in the three-day trade mission that starts on Saturday to "engage constructively with Chinese officials on several trade irritants."

China hit Canadian canola seed with a 75.8 per cent tariff last month, a measure widely seen as a response to Canada’s 100 per cent tariff on Chinese electric vehicles.
