Premiers entering final day of meetings with public safety, internal trade on agenda

On July 23, 2025, Canada's Premiers concluded their annual summer meeting in Huntsville, Ontario, chaired by Ontario Premier Doug Ford.
In addressing domestic challenges, the premiers as the Council of the Federation focused on building a stronger Canada by reducing trade barriers and labour mobility, strengthening Canada's immigration system, and improving community safety.
Amid U.S. tariff pressures, thirty-five per cent tariffs are set for August 1, the premiers and prime minister agreed on the U.S. threat and internal trade need, yet delivered few concrete solutions.
In Ottawa, the premiers urged the federal government to amend the Criminal Code for bail reform and boost resources for border security.
Looking ahead, the premiers promised at least one trade mission in the coming year to foster trade and strengthen supply chains.
