“No choice” without more time in fares, it says that the company imports from the US star-news.press/wp

A program announced this week Helping some businesses in the expensive counterparts may not be enough to draw manufacturing companies from damage, say observers. And a company in Rural Manitoba is already feeling biting.

“There is only one manufacturer who is doing this for us,” CBC’s news said, and a Canadian alternative is likely to be found for more than a year.

It was therefore “exciting”, when Ottawa announced the provisional exceptions of these temporary tariffs on Canada for Canadian manufacturing, food and beverage packaging or for imports to support health care, public safety and national security.

He said the exceptions to Ottawa can help, but the federal officials are still likely to find that company is trading for future transactions.

It is a prudent business environment, but Timm expects Canadian companies in the end.

“The business will continue, they will consume Canadians. We will still eat and we will still do things. So we need to find this way to achieve this,” he said.

“Most manufacturers have been quite stressed,” Fries said.
