Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc posted on social media on Tuesday, “Canada welcomes that the U.S. is now withdrawing its positions on discoverability and labelling and is confirming that measures to promote French language and Canadian culture will not be subject to future U.S. trade actions.
