Overall:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Total exports of goods and services account for 33.7% of Canada\u2019s gross domestic product.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 in 6 jobs in Canada are linked to exports.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The US is our largest trading partner, accounting for 77% of Canada\u2019s exports.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Every day, $3.6 billion worth of goods and services travel across the border between Canada and the United States.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Our food supply chain is highly integrated with the U.S., making this tariff war deeply concerning for the foodservice industry on both sides of the border. Food is essential, and Restaurants Canada continues to urge the Canadian government to implement measures to help our industry navigate these tariffs. This includes making all food tax-free, introducing manufacturing credits to scale up domestic food packaging operations, removing interprovincial trade barriers, and loosening packaging regulations to allow imports from other countries as substitutes. While economic pain is inevitable, these measures would protect businesses and jobs in our industry. Without them, job losses in the foodservice sector\u2014Canada\u2019s fourth-largest private employer\u2014would be even more severe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information on tariffs and other foodservice trends, check out Restaurants Canada\u2019s latest Quarterly report, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.restaurantscanada.org\/research\/the-quarterly-q4-2024\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:30% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.restaurantscanada.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/rc-headshots-79-of-256-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Chris Elliott\" class=\"wp-image-21058 size-full\"\/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">As the\u00a0<strong>Chief Economist and Vice President of Research for Restaurants Canada, Chris Elliott<\/strong>\u00a0manages and produces a comprehensive research program that has made Restaurants Canada a leading source of information for and about Canada\u2019s nearly $120-billion foodservice industry.
