Around it

The temporary remission program was first offered early in Canada's retaliatory duties against the United States to reduce the burden on Canadian firms. CP24 The government has routinely extended the program and modified eligible goods as it gives firms more time to transition away from U.S. suppliers, particularly for steel. CP24 The announcement encourages the use of Canadian-made goods wherever possible. Government of Canada
