Legault’s comments echo those of British Columbia Premier David Eby, who told media last week that Trump’s plan to impose a tariff of 25 per cent on Canadian goods would be “devastating” for his province’s forest and lumber industry.

Quebec’s premier has been outspoken about Trump’s threat, saying last week that Ottawa must come up with a detailed plan to strengthen the border and avoid the tariff

After saying on Wednesday that he had not received a 'clear answer' from the federal government, Quebec Premier Francois Legault now says he is 'happy' to see that Ottawa agrees a plan is needed to avoid Donald Trump's tariffs.
