WASHINGTON, D.C.- National Foreign Trade Council (NFTC)\u00a0Senior Director for Trade and Innovation Brad Wood\u00a0today issued a statement following yesterday\u2019s passage of Canada\u2019s budget implementation bill:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe welcome news that with the passage of Canada\u2019s budget implementation act, the government has finally followed through and repealed its digital services tax (DST).\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe thank the Trump Administration for its commitment to ending discriminatory digital and tax policies around the globe, and hope this sends a message to other jurisdictions that the United States will not stand for measures that target American firms.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving closed this chapter, we hope Canada and the United States can seize this momentum to reinvigorate their bilateral dialogue. It is time to redouble efforts to address what barriers remain, set a path towards renewing an upgraded USMCA, and reaffirm that the United States and Canada are more competitive and resilient as close partners and allies.\u201d<\/p>\n
