Trade minister Mary Ng said the agreement will bring stability to Canada’s renewable energy sector
The United States has agreed to lift tariffs on Canadian solar products after a trade dispute settlement panel sided with Ottawa earlier this year, Canadian Trade Minister Mary Ng said on Thursday.
In February, Canada said the panel had confirmed that the tariffs were “unjustified and in violation” of the trade pact. The United States, too, said it had prevailed on some aspects of the panel’s decision.“Today, I welcomed the agreement reached with the United States to remove the U.S. safeguard tariffs on solar products from Canada,” Ng said in a statement.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government has made tackling climate change one of its top priorities and has pledged net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
