What does that mean? It sounds like free-trade, globalist rhetoric. How does it help the Canadian or Ontario economy to simply not respond? We could have the most efficient companies in the world, but if they the American won't buy, but we will buy from their companies, effectively subsidized by a trade barrier, how is that a good thing for the Canadian economy, jobs, and people. What you do is what the government claims to be doing: try to convince them not to adopt the policy, but if they do, be ready to defend your citizens, their economic interests etc.
