Prime Minister Mark Carney, who announced a deal Friday with China on a range of sectors, including canola and a tariff-quota arrangement on electric vehicles, took questions on the terms of the deal, what it means for Canada — and the implications of moving closer to China.
The Latest
- Prime Minister Mark Carney's Liberal government has reached a “landmark” trade deal with China.
- The deal allows up to 49,000 Chinese electric vehicles into the Canadian market. In return, Ottawa expects Beijing to drop canola seed duties to 15 per cent by March.
- The pact would also remove tariffs on Canadian canola meal, lobsters, crabs and peas from March until at least the end of 2026.
- Carney in Beijing said China is more predictable partner than the U.S.
- Ontario Premier Doug Ford is critical of the EV deal, warning that China now has a "foothold" in the Canadian market and will use it "at the expense of Canadian workers."
- Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe described the deal as a "positive step forward" that came "earlier than some were expecting."

Ontario Premier Doug Ford says he did not hear from Prime Minister Mark Carney about the electric vehicle arrangement with China before it was announced, adding 'this was not thought out properly.'
Domestically, we're already seeing mixed reactions to the deal. One of the most outspoken critics is Ontario Premier Doug Ford, who said the deal "wasn't thought out properly" and will "hurt every single auto manufacturer."
Meanwhile, NDP interim Leader Don Davies called the agreement a "step forward" on social media platform X. "NDP will continue to press for Chinese EVs to be built in Canada — access to our auto market should create Canadian jobs," he wrote.
