On Friday, Hajdu urged the airline company and the union representing its flight attendants to get back to the negotiating table. The Air Canada component of the Canadian Union of Public Employees, which represents around 10,000 flight attendants, has said its main sticking points revolve around wages that have been outpaced by inflation during the course of its previous 10-year contract, along with unpaid labour when planes aren't in the air. Its members voted 99.7 per cent in favour of a strike mandate last week. Talks later resumed before the two sides reached an impasse Tuesday. The airline began a gradual suspension of Air Canada and Air Canada Rouge operations Thursday, with a full pause planned for Saturday. Passengers around the world are feeling the effect already because of the strike.

Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu to provide update on Air Canada labour dispute
OTTAWA – Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu is holding a news conference on Parliament Hill today to provide Canadians with an update on the Air Canada strike. Passengers around the world are feeling the effects after the union representing more than 10,000 flight attendants with Air Canada announced its members were walking off the job after it was unable to reach an eleventh-hour deal with the airline. The strike officially began just before 1 a.m. ET on Saturday and in turn, Air Canada locked out its agents about 30 minutes later due to the strike action. On Friday Hajdu urged the airline company and the union representing its flight attendants to get back to the negotiating table. In an interview with The Canadian Press, Hajdu said it's 'critical' that the two parties 'return to the table' to forge a deal on their own. Air Canada and business advocacy groups have called on the government to order binding arbitration to settle the dispute.

Create Account Beijing filed a complaint Friday with the WTO in response to Canadian restrictions on imports that contain steel melted or poured in China. Prime Minister Mark Carney announced last month that he was imposing the 25 per cent surtax on products containing Chinese steel to protect the domestic industry in the face of steep U.S. tariffs. But China said those duties are 'discriminatory,' according to a translation of a statement issued by the Chinese commerce ministry. 'This is a prototypical measure reflecting unilateralism and protectionism, which damages China's legal rights and disrupts the global stability of steel product supply chains,' the translated statement said. China said it is disappointed by the move to impose tariffs and urged Canada 'to correct its erroneous actions.' The statement also made reference to protecting the multilateral rules-based system of trade and improving Canada-China trade relations. Your noon-hour look at what's happening in Toronto and beyond.

The Canadian Press reached out to Global Affairs Canada for comment on Friday but has yet to receive a response. Carney said at his announcement of new steel industry protections in July that some foreign competition 'unfairly benefits' from non-market policies. This can include companies exporting products at a lower price than they charge domestically – a practice known as dumping. Canada's trade dispute with China ramped up this week after Beijing imposed a tariff of nearly 76 per cent on Canadian canola seed starting Thursday – an apparent response to Canada's ongoing tariffs of 100 per cent on Chinese-made electric vehicles. China imposed the duties after what it said was an anti-dumping investigation into Canadian canola. Ottawa has denied that Canada is dumping canola.

Lawrence Herman, a Toronto-based international trade lawyer, said in an email to The Canadian Press on Friday that the WTO complaint is a 'cynical ploy.' China often offends 'the very basis of the WTO agreement' with its use of state capitalism and aggressive takeovers of foreign markets through subsidized exports, Herman said. China exploits and disregards the WTO's own trade rules by 'preventing foreign companies from fair and open access to its own market and, in one way or another, acquires western technology though various devious mechanisms,' he argued. Herman said Canada can defend itself at the WTO by pointing out China's own 'egregious actions.' Herman said that even if China's case were to be proven, he questions the ability of the WTO dispute settlement process to produce a substantive penalty. The organization authorizes members to impose sanctions based on a consensus finding of wrongdoing, but cannot hand out penalties unilaterally. 'The result is that while Canada will contest the Chinese claim, at the end of the day the dispute process can't lead to any meaningful legal result,' Herman said.
