The company, which makes frozen pizzas and French fries, had alleged that US food makers such as Kraft had been selling frozen pizza in Canada at below-cost prices, but has now dropped its complaint.
Back in May, the Canada Border Services Agency announced a temporary 34.9% levy on self-rising frozen pizzas from the US.
By dropping the complaint, McCain cast doubt on whether the duties will remain in force. For that to happen, the quasi-judicial Canadian International Trade Tribunal must rule the imports harmed Canadian producers. The tribunal cancelled a public hearing yesterday after McCain said it wouldn’t participate, reported the National Post.
