STATEMENT FROM SASKATCHEWAN NDP LEADER CARLA BECK ON CHINESE TARIFFS ON SASKATCHEWAN AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS

The announcement by China imposing tariffs on Saskatchewan’s agricultural products will do an incredible amount of damage at the worst possible time. 

The Saskatchewan NDP is calling on the federal and provincial governments to do everything possible to have this decision by China reversed immediately. 

We know these tariffs are a retaliation measure for tariffs placed by the Canadian federal government on Chinese electric vehicles — this has led canola farmers to openly express fear they are being sold out to protect the auto sector in Eastern Canada. 

We don’t need more division. We need to come together and protect every sector of the Canadian economy, and the federal government should start by reviewing these electric vehicle tariffs today.
