Carney asks provinces to return U.S. alcohol to stores
Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston says Prime Minister Mark Carney has asked provinces to restock American alcohol on their shelves as Canada finalizes a trade deal with the U.S.
OTTAWA - Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston has informed Prime Minister Mark Carney that provinces should restock American alcohol on their shelves as Canada concludes a trade agreement with the United States.
Carney briefed provincial leaders about the draft deal on Wednesday. The agreement builds on Canada's existing trade advantages with the U.S.
Eight provinces have prohibited the sale of U.S. alcohol for over a year in response to previous U.S. tariffs. The Trump administration cited the alcohol ban, Canada's dairy supply management system, and tariff-free auto quotas as key reasons for the proposed tariff plan.
Houston stated that the "core elements" of supply management will remain unchanged under the agreement.
