Mr. Speaker, with regard to (a), as of May 30, 2025, the government has collected approximately $1.7 billion dollars in revenue from counter-tariffs imposed on imports from the U.S. This figure is net of remissions and other relief programs, such as the relieving provisions in Chapters 98 and 99 of the Customs Tariff, the Canada Border Services Agency Duties Relief Program and the Duty Drawback Program.
With regard to (b), this information is not currently available as tariff revenue collected by the Canada Border Services Agency is not disaggregated based on business size.
