The federal government is using the respite in the Canada-U.S. tariff dispute to launch an economic summit focused on boosting domestic economic resiliency and diversifying trade.

The Canada-U.S. Economic Summit, set for Feb. 7 in Toronto, will gather Canadian leaders from trade, business, public policy, and organized labour to explore strategies to boost Canada’s economy, increase domestic trade, and diversify export markets, the Prime Minister’s Office said in a Feb. 5 release.
