Industry Minister François-Philippe Champagne said Wednesday that he’s confident all the premiers will get on board with a unified “Team Canada” approach to deal with Donald Trump’s tariff threat.

His confidence comes despite signs of early cracks in that unity ahead of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s emergency meeting with the premiers this afternoon.
