MONTREAL – The NDP is strongly denouncing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s betrayal to workers and farmers for signing on to the USMCA without securing the removal of a clause giving the U.S. power over Canada’s dairy sector, and without the suspension of crippling steel and aluminum tariffs.

OTTAWA – On Thursday, the NDP called on the Liberal government to listen to Canadians and not sign the USMCA until critical fixes have been made. As it stands, the new deal gives the U.S. oversight on Canada’s dairy sector, and doesn’t address the tariffs on steel and aluminium.
