Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has outlined his economic vision related to possible future tariffs, saying it’s time for Canada to have “genuine” interprovincial free trade.

Speaking at the Canada-U.S. Economic Summit in Toronto on Feb. 7, Trudeau said that while Canada will explore ways to prevent U.S. tariffs from being imposed after the 30-day reprieve, the country must also focus on building long-term economic resiliency.
