Statement by Premier Doug Ford on the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement
Premier Doug Ford statement on the announcement of USMCA
"We want to make Ontario open for business. That's why, from day one, we have offered our full support to our federal partner throughout the USMCA negotiation process to make sure a deal got done.
We also need to create and protect good jobs here in Ontario. While I'm optimistic that the USMCA agreement announced will create continued opportunities, I remain concerned about the impact of Canada's reported concessions on Class 7 milk and access to Ontario's dairy market could have on our agriculture sector. We also remain concerned about the remaining steel and aluminum tariffs.
Our government will be speaking directly with industry representatives from Ontario's steel, aluminum, auto, and agriculture sectors to determine the impacts of this deal.
During the negotiations, we made it clear that any deal must keep Ontario's steel, aluminum, auto and agriculture industries top of mind. Our government will continue to vigorously defend and advance Ontario's economic interests at home and abroad.
