Mark Carney's Trade Council

The committee is tasked with providing advice as Canada braces for a formal review of the CUSMA trade agreement this summer.

Carney emphasized that the council will draw on the 'broadest perspectives' to protect Canadian interests amid a tense trade climate.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has criticized the move, arguing that Carney lacks a clear plan and is using the council as a distraction.

The list of members includes voices from sectors most impacted by recent U.S. tariffs, such as agriculture and manufacturing.
