LeBlanc to brief provincial counterparts, advisory committee on U.S. trade talks
OTTAWA - Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc is set to address provincial and territorial trade ministers, along with members of the prime minister's advisory committee on Canada-U.S. relations. The minister and chief trade negotiator Janice Charette are currently in Washington, where they have been participating in discussions with U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer.
The talks have become more frequent as a new round of 50% tariffs on various Canadian goods is scheduled to commence on August 19. However, LeBlanc and Greer are not expected to meet today.
