Motion 7

Motion passed 86 to 5

A motion under which the House condemns tariffs proposed by President Donald Trump and endorses a nationally coordinated Canadian response that may include proportionate retaliation targeting specified industries and regions.

Motion 7 was a private member's motion on notice, taken in the Monday morning sitting of February 24, 2025, when private members' business has precedence. It asked the House to record two things: that it condemns the tariffs President Trump had proposed as unjustified and as a threat to Canadian sovereignty, and that it endorses a nationally coordinated plan to answer them with proportionate retaliation if needed, including targeting products from Republican states. A motion of this kind states the House's opinion and changes no law.
