From china. This is on top of the most favoured nation tariff of 6. 1 already slapped onto chinese produced evs that are imported into canada. Now, the government also intends to apply a 25 tariff on imports of steel and aluminium products from china. Canadas finance minister, chrystia freeland, says these measures were about protecting domestic producers. The reality is china has an intentional state directed policy of overcapacity and oversupply, designed designed to cripple our own industries. Talk to the steel sector. Talk to the aluminium sector to understand how effective that has already been. We simply will not allow that to happen to our ev sector. The auto tariffs bring canada in line with its southern neighbour. The us introduced 100 tariffs on chinese made evs in may whilst the eu is also imposing higher tariffs. It comes after Us National Security advisorjake sullivan, whos en route to beijing, touted the need for a united front on tariffs when he met Withjustin Trudeau an

Im keeping this brief and to the point. Local leaders have been sounding at definite alarm for months about the need for direct fiscal assistance from washington as the virus rages in our city. Our budgets are under extreme stress. Arts fences are skyrocketing. Our essential lifesaving services are strained. The need for public assistance is through the roof. This has been going on since the beginning of the pandemic since march of last year. Today, only 38 cities have received direct relief yet mayors everywhere continue to do what we do everyday. We get it done. We run our cities with a balanced budget which we are required to do by law. So what does that mean . How do we possibly do that in the face of this tremendous crisis . It means the cut jobs. It means eliminating services and staff at the same time. Our First Responders have been on the job since day one of this pandemic transporting those with covid to hospitals with Public Health initiatives keeping social and family order
