Premier Tony Wakeham says “there’s more work to be done” when it comes to easing the tariff burden on this province’s seafood exports to China.

The premier had an opportunity to discuss the matter with Prime Minister Mark Carney in Ottawa last week.

Wakeham says while he welcomes a tariff deal between Canada and China on Canadian snow crab, that only accounts for 20 per cent of the seafood this province exports to China.

“A lot of other products like shrimp and surf clams,” are bound for the Chinese market. “Those impacts are still there, and the tariffs are still there. So, more work needs to be done.”
