WTO rules against Canada

A World Trade Organization panel reviewing CSeries subsidies after a request by Brazil is moving ahead after a preliminary decision to allow it to consider Ottawa's supercluster program.

The panel ruled against Canada's objection that it look at four programs including the supercluster plan that were not included in its original complaint.

Brazil launched the trade dispute last year alleging Bombardier and its suppliers have received more than US$3 billion in subsidies, which it claims have hurt its aviation industry.

Canada had argued that Brazil's request to include the additional programs broadened the scope of the dispute beyond the original request for consultations.

However, the WTO ruled that they were within the terms of reference of the panel.

The WTO also rejected an argument by Canada that Brazil didn't identify specific measures in regard to its concerns about several other programs.
