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. Together, they'll separate fact from speculation, explain what recent policy changes mean for manufacturers, distributors and contractors, and discuss practical strategies for managing risk while identifying new opportunities. This timely discussion will provide valuable insights to help your business plan with greater confidence in an increasingly uncertain trade environment.
