This new tax is in addition to a first imposition of compensatory fees by 220% by the United States at the end of September, following a complaint by the american company Boeing for unfair competition.

“These anti-dumping […] target, unfairly, the sector is very innovative aerospace in Canada, as well as more than 200,000 people who work there,” added the minister Freeland, stating that the obstacles that Bombardier is facing is also threatening more than 20,000 american jobs.
