Labour Minister Patty Hajdu feels the new trade agreement between Canada, the U.S. and Mexico will be good for Canadian farmers.
Hajdu feels it will be mostly positive for the agriculture industry.
Hajdu says it provides tariff free access to the United States market for ranchers and grain farmers.
She adds it preserves supply and management for the dairy and poultry industry, providing stability so people will know what to expect.
The Thunder Bay-Superior North MP adds dairy farmers will be compensated for any market loss caused by the changes.
Hajdu says another highlight with the deal is that you might not get charged duty or sales tax based on the amount you’ve ordered from the States.
She says if you’ve ordered it online to Canada and the value is under $40 you won’t be charged sales tax.
That’s doubled, it used to be $20.
If the item is less than $150, you won’t get charged duty.
