The Financial Post reports in its Friday, Aug. 22, edition that Canada's agriculture minister will meet with canola industry leaders and Saskatchewan's premier to discuss China's tariffs. A Postmedia dispatch to the Post reports that Alberta Premier Danielle Smith believes affected farmers will need federal assistance and suggests reassessing the 100-per-cent tariff Ottawa placed on Chinese electric vehicles last year, which she views as the root cause of China's anti-dumping duties on Canadian canola seed. Ms. Smith said: "We will have to see the same kind of measures for canola and maybe even pork that we've seen for steel and aluminum workers. ... Seems to me that the federal government needs to work on that." Prime Minister Mark Carney announced that he spoke with Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe about supporting canola growers affected by China's tariffs. Mr. Moe will host a meeting in Saskatoon with federal Agriculture Minister Heath Macdonald, canola sector leaders and Kody Blois to discuss Canada's response. Last week, China imposed anti-dumping duties of 75.8 per cent on Canadian canola seed, despite the Canadian government and industry groups rejecting the dumping accusation.
