Dan Kelly (CFIB) tells BNN about 40% of Canadian small exporters would be hit by the new 50% US tariff list.
So we have about 40% of Canadian small exporters that would be affected by the things on the list of the new 50% tariff.
Dan Kelly tells BNN 85% of Canada-US trade still crosses tariff-free, but the new 50% list hits small exporters' sweet spot.
Look, 85% of our trade, as we know, is still crossing the border tariff-free into the United States.

Dan Kelly tells BNN small firms have little bandwidth left post-pandemic and the 50% tariff threat could blow some of them down.
A strong wind could blow down some of these small firms. And this tariff threat would certainly be one of those.
Dan Kelly tells BNN that among affected members, most expect demand to drop by over 50% if the 50% tariffs take effect.
a good chunk of them thought that it would actually drop demand, but the majority of them felt that the demand could drop by over 50%.
