Tribunal Submits Report Concerning Certain Vegetable Goods

Ottawa, Ontario, September 9, 2026— The Canadian International Trade Tribunal submitted a report on the importation of certain vegetable goods to the Governor in Council including the Tribunal’s determination, reasons, and any recommendations.

The purpose of this inquiry was to determine whether certain vegetable goods were being imported into Canada in such increased quantities and under such conditions as to be a principal cause of serious injury or threat of serious injury to domestic producers of like or directly competitive goods. The Tribunal was directed, if it made an affirmative finding for any applicable class of goods, to recommend the most appropriate remedy to address the injury or threat thereof, considering the effect of the remedy on the affordability for consumers of certain vegetable goods and on food security.

The Tribunal is an independent quasi-judicial body that reports to Parliament through the Minister of Finance. It hears cases on dumped and subsidized imports, safeguard complaints, complaints about federal government procurement and appeals of customs and excise tax rulings. When requested by the federal government, the Tribunal also provides advice on other economic, trade and tariff matters.
