The new trade deal with China falls short, said Conservative party agriculture critic John Barlow.
The deal on canola seed reduces China’s tariffs to 15 from 85 per cent starting Mar. 1, but lasting only until the end of the year.
The 25 per cent tariff on Canadian pork remains unchanged as do restrictions on cattle and pork genetics.
Barlow said it would have been better to completely remove the tariffs on canola seed, oil and meal and on peas.
