Sec. 5. Retaliatory actions if Canada fails to remedy discriminatory measures

(a) Determination of non-Compliance. If, not later than 180 days after publication of an affirmative determination under section 3(c)(1), the United States Trade Representative determines that Canada has not taken satisfactory steps to remove or amend the discriminatory measures identified in the investigation with respect to which the determination was made, the Trade Representative shall take appropriate action under section 301(c) of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2411(c)).

(b) Forms of action. Actions under subsection (a) may include—

(1) the suspension, withdrawal, or modification of trade agreement concessions or benefits to Canada under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement or other agreements; and

(2) the imposition of additional duties on goods of Canadian origin in amounts commensurate with the harm from implementation of Canada’s Online Streaming Act (Bill C-11).

(c) Notice and consultation. Before taking any action under this section, the Trade Representative shall—

(1) notify the appropriate congressional committees of the proposed action; and

(2) consult with affected stakeholders to ensure that measures are targeted, proportionate, and minimize unintended consequences for United States consumers and allies.

(d) Termination of action. The Trade Representative may terminate any action under this section if—

(1) Canada eliminates or modifies the measures to the satisfaction of the Trade Representative; and

(2) the Trade Representative notifies Congress in writing thereof.
