A new House of Commons petition calls on Prime Minister Mark Carney to revive the digital services tax scrapped for now-collapsed U.S. trade talks.
Petition E-7664 argues Ottawa gave up billions in potential tax revenue without securing lasting concessions from Washington.
“The Digital Services Tax Act was repealed in July 2025 with the aim of advancing trade negotiations with the United States,” reads the petition. “This tax concession has yielded no lasting benefit as U.S. tariffs against Canada continue to be imposed, renewed and expanded following the repeal.”
The petition, first reported by Blacklock’s Reporter, was sponsored by Bloc Québécois MP Gabriel Ste-Marie, vice-chair of the Canada-United States Interparliamentary Group.
It calls on Ottawa to immediately reinstate the tax and disclose how much revenue was lost.
