Finance Minister Bill Morneau talks tariffs, NAFTA during Windsor visit
The minister also toured Fiat Chrysler's Windsor Assembly Plant
Federal Finance Minister Bill Morneau was in Windsor Monday afternoon talking "local competitiveness" as part of a series of meetings with business leaders across the country.
The Windsor-Essex Regional Chamber of Commerce held the meeting at its office on Ouellette Avenue.
Prior to the meeting, the minister toured Fiat Chrysler's Windsor Assembly Plant.
Morneau said this morning the most common concern he heard was getting a "new, refreshed" Nafta agreement. He said overall business leaders across the country are saying the economy is going well-good rate of growth and low unemployment rates <a href="https://twitter.com/CBCWindsor?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CBCWindsor</a>

He said if auto tariffs were imposed the government would respond appropriately like it did with steel tariffs <a href="https://twitter.com/CBCWindsor?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CBCWindsor</a>
