Winnipeg Chamber Urges CUSMA Renewal With Protections

The Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce submitted recommendations to the federal government during Canada's mandatory CUSMA review as U.S. public hearings proceed in Washington, urging tariff-stability protocols and updates to data, AI and temporary-entry rules to protect trade. It cited nearly $2 trillion in annual North American trade since 2020, a 7.5% drop in Canadian exports in Q2 2025, and Manitoba's reliance on exports to argue changes would sustain jobs and competitiveness.
