US tariffs and cost pass-through
The StatCan survey also found that nearly one-third (32.0%) of all businesses, whether engaged in trade or not, reported that tariffs imposed by the United States on imports from Canada had a negative impact on their business over the 12 months prior to the survey. Businesses in manufacturing (51.2%), agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting (47.1%), and wholesale trade (45.7%) were most likely to report negative effects.
