Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland says the government is planning to `pull out all the stops' to press the U.S. on its plans to limit supplies to Canada.
The White House ordered manufacturer 3M not to ship N95 respirators across the border to Canada.
Freeland says Canada will push back hard.
She says all ministers are in touch with their U.S. counterparts and the provincial premiers have also been asked to get involved.
