OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney confirmed that Conservative MP Jamil Jivani received a briefing from Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc ahead of his visit to Washington D.C. Jivani, a friend of U.S. Vice President JD Vance, aims to assist with the Canada-United-States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) review amidst tense trade relations, including recent U.S. tariff threats. Industry Minister Melanie Joly criticized Jivani for not denouncing GM’s layoffs in his riding, urging him to advocate for affected workers.
