"While we had hoped for a different outcome, we recognize the efforts of Canada's negotiating team in pursuing a stronger result. The impacts of these unjustified U.S. tariffs will be felt across Canada, but not equally. Some regions will face greater pressure on local jobs, industries, and economic growth than others, and no municipality should be left carrying a disproportionate share of the burden. As part of Team Canada, FCM will continue working with federal partners to help shape a response that reflects where those pressures are being felt most acutely and supports the workers, businesses and local economies most affected."
—Tim Tierney, President, Federation of Canadian Municipalities
The Federation of Canadian Municipalities is the national voice of municipal governments, with over 2,000 members representing more than 90 per cent of the Canadian population.
