He will be joined by Moe, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food Heath MacDonald, Minister of International Trade Maninder Sidhu, Secretary of State for Rural Development Buckley Belanger and Parliamentary Secretary to the Prime Minister Kody Blois.
Blois and Moe were in China earlier this month and met with Chinese officials who oversee an agency responsible for imposing steep tariffs on Canadian canola products, the international trade negotiator with China’s ministry of commerce and other industry officials.
China has imposed a 76 per cent tariff on Canadian canola seed, widely seen as a response to Canada’s 100 per cent tariff on Chinese electric vehicles, as well as duties of 100 per cent on Canadian canola oil, meal and peas and other levies on pork and some seafood products in response to Canada’s 25 per cent tariffs on Chinese steel and aluminum.
