Canada's Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne said on Thursday that the discussions on tariffs did come up during a G7 finance leaders' meeting, even though there was mention of them in the final communique that was published.

Canada's Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne says there's a sense of unity after emerging from a summit with his counterparts across the G7. The group of finance ministers and central bankers gathered this week in Banff, Alta., ahead of the G7 leaders' summit set for next month in nearby Kananaskis.

Top economic officials avoided a condemnation of U.S. tariffs but committed to trying to reduce “economic policy uncertainty.”
