Quebec Tariff Policy Meeting

The meeting comes as Canada prepares to impose retaliatory tariffs on a wide range of U.S. goods the following day.

The tariffs, which will range from 15 to 50 per cent, will apply to products including dairy, steel, copper and some beauty products.

Rhetoric over the looming tariffs continued through the long weekend, with Trump posting on social media Sunday that the Canadian dollar’s exchange rate with the U.S. has been “unacceptable … for years — but no longer.”

Several of Fréchette’s political opponents accused her Sunday of using the tariff dispute for political gain during the provincial election campaign.
