Saskatchewan Party MLAs have passed a motion calling on Ottawa to drop tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles (EVs), while commending Premier Scott Moe for his advocacy efforts.
The assembly calls upon the Government of Canada to immediately remove its tariffs on electric vehicles from China to restore market access for canola, peas and pork producers in Saskatchewan.
Originally brought forward by the NDP Opposition, the motion was amended by Trade and Export Development Minister Warren Kaeding to shift the focus from the premier to the Government of Canada.
