Canada should move quickly to renegotiate its trade agreement with the U.S. to avoid facing a new threat every week, says Quebec Premier François Legault. (The Logic)

Talking point: Legault said the threat of steep tariffs on all Canadian goods plus another 25 per cent duty on all foreign imports of steel and aluminum creates economic uncertainty and stalls investment, even if they’re delayed. Renegotiating the U.S.-Canada-Mexico Agreement, which is up for review next year, would also help, he added. “The sooner we get started, the sooner we can get it done,” Legault said Wednesday as he joined other premiers in Washington, D.C. Export taxes on aluminum should be among the retaliatory measures on the table, Legault said. On Tuesday, the premier also floated the idea of sending aluminum from Quebec to Europe.  The supply management system that protects the dairy sector, however, is something Legault said must remain off the table.
