From a legal perspective, I understand that lawyers at international trade, representing the government, have been studying this issue very closely for some time now, and believe that Canada has nothing to be concerned about in terms of respecting our obligations under CUSMA.
Even though our preference, of course, would be for a negotiated settlement with the United States, our government is prepared to use the tools that are available to us under CUSMA's chapter 19 in order to advance our position and resolve the matter.
Could you take us through what a chapter 19 dispute would look like?
