The federal government collected over $3 billion from U.S. counter tariffs between March and September of this year, but that amount is substantially less than what the Liberals had forecast during the spring election campaign. Darren Major reports. $3 billion is a fraction of the 20 billion the Liberal Election platform estimated would be collected this fiscal year. While the fiscal period officially ends in March, Prime Minister Mark Carney

removed a swath of tariffs starting in September. He said at the time, removing the tariffs would help advance trade talks with the U.S., but a deal has yet to be finalized. Now the liberals are set to table a budget and Carney has signaled the deficit will be larger than the last fiscal update. When asked about the revenue laws from removing the tariffs, finance minister Francois-filippe Champagne, defended the move. Things change quickly. We always need to adapt and review our posture, but what we're doing is to support Canadian industry. Catherine Cobden, President of the Canadian Steel Producers Association, says she's not surprised by the $3 billion figure. She argues exemptions should have only been granted to products that can't be

produced in Canada. We really need to fix the remission process in our country. It is broken. But Bill Robson from the C.D. Howe Institute argues that tariffs hurt the economy and are a bad way to boost the federal coffers. We do need to raise revenue, but there are less painful ways of doing it. tariffs are a very damaging way of raising revenue. Darren Major, CBC News, Ottawa. in Afghanistan.
