The Canadian delegation visits China to discuss canola seed exports, sparking discussions within Canada about "switching to canola oil for cars".
Under pressure from the domestic canola industry, the Canadian government is currently reviewing the existing tariff rates on electric cars, steel, aluminum, and other products imported from China. Officials have been dispatched to accompany trade delegations visiting China in search for opportunities for Canada's largest export crop - canola seeds.
According to the Canadian newspaper "The Globe and Mail", from September 6th to September 9th, the Premier of Saskatchewan, Scott Moe, the largest canola-producing province in Canada, will lead a trade delegation to China. Also accompanying the delegation is Cody Blois, a Canadian parliament secretary, to jointly press for China to lift the "punitive tariffs" on Canadian canola seeds.
Moe stated at a press conference held on September 4th that the visit will also address China's tariffs on other products such as pea starch, pork, and aquatic products, but the most urgent issue is canola seeds.
Meanwhile, as reported by the Canadian newspaper "National Post", the Canadian Ministry of Finance is also conducting a review of the tariffs on Chinese electric cars, steel, and aluminum products to determine whether the current rates should be maintained. A spokesperson for the Canadian Ministry of Finance stated that since the implementation of the tariffs, the imports of these Chinese products have significantly decreased. The Canadian government had promised a review of these tariffs imposed last October after they took effect for a year.
