The National Post reports in its Saturday edition that certain Canadian canola products and seafood will flow more freely to China, while Chinese electric vehicles will enter Canada almost tariff-free, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced on Friday after meeting President Xi Jinping. The Post's Christopher Nardi writes that Canada aims to boost its exports to China by 50 per cent by 2030. China is set to reduce tariffs on certain Canadian canola imports in exchange for Canada allowing more Chinese electric vehicles to enter its market. Mr. Xi is expected to reduce canola seed tariffs from about 85 per cent to 15 per cent as of March 1. In exchange, Canada agreed to allow up to 49,000 Chinese EVs to enter the country at a preferential tariff rate of 6.1 per cent. The quota will increase by 6 per cent yearly and hit 70,000 in a few years. Half of the 2030 quota will be reserved for EVs costing up to $35,000 at the time of import. The goal is to attract Chinese investment in EV production in Canada with the long-term goal being the construction of a factory in Canada, the PM said. The quota for lower-tariff EVs will be reviewed after three years and will consider how much Chinese EV investment has been made in Canada.
