Tariffs continue to reshape the Canadian HVACR marketplace, creating new legal, financial and operational challenges for businesses across the supply chain. Join an expert panel featuring a leading trade lawyer, a public affairs specialist, a representative from the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, and an HVACR manufacturing executive as they examine the latest developments in Canada-U.S. trade relations.
