Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has pledged to match steep U.S. tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles if elected, something the Liberal government is considering but has to decide on.
The call comes after Ottawa wrapped up a 30-day consultation process on Chinese EVs last week and has not said when those findings — or any decisions that may come as a result — will be made public.
The Conservative leader is also calling for tariffs on Chinese steel, aluminum, EV batteries, and wants Ottawa to stop handing out rebates for the purchase of Chinese EVs.
