These tariffs pose a significant threat to jobs across multiple sectors, which rely on a stable trade relationship with the United States. The increased costs stemming from these tariffs will lead to higher prices for goods and materials, placing additional strain on Canadian municipalities, businesses, and households. This economic disruption risks delaying critical projects and undermining the ability of planners to create sustainable, affordable, and resilient communities. We are ready to advocate as a unified voice as we navigate this evolving landscape together. We are committed to working collaboratively with our partners, interest-holders, and the government to address the challenges ahead and ensure that Canadian planners continue to play a vital role in building strong and vibrant communities.
