The Government of Ontario recently called for the federal government to review and re-consider the unintended, adverse impacts of Canada's counter-tariffs on the Canadian boating sector. NMMA Canada and Boating Ontario applauded the move, calling the government's acknowledgment a clear indication of recreational boating's significant economic impact in Ontario and the entire country.
In response, Sara Anghel, President of NMMA Canada and Rick Layzell, CEO of Boating Ontario stated, "By urging the federal government to study the effects of its counter-tariffs on our country's boating industry in its recent budget, the Ontario government demonstrated it is willing to go to bat for our industry, its businesses and workers. Counter-tariffs have taken a heavy toll on the Canadian boating industry, and we thank the Ontario government for recognizing that these punitive measures are doing irreparable damage and must come to an end.
