The 18-member council is composed of representatives from the automotive industry, the nuclear power sector, agriculture and the labor movement.

“We are all united on one thing, which is we will stand up for Canada,” Trudeau said. “We will protect Canadians. We will make sure that we are there to show what this country is made of.”

“If the American administration moves forward with its plans on tariffs, it will, first and foremost, hurt American citizens and American consumers, but it will also hurt Canadians,” he added.
