Boeing, Bombardier's rival, filed a petition with the USITC in April asking it to consider anti-dumping and countervailing duties against the Canadian company's CSeries passenger aircraft. Friday's vote means a separate investigation by the U.S. Commerce Department will continue. This chain of decisions leads to a final levy set against the Canadian aircraft. Foreign Affairs Chrystia Freeland announced last month that the Canadian government is reviewing its procurement contracts with Boeing in light of the U.S. company's trade complaint against Bombardier. Boeing spokesman Dan Curran said the aerospace giant values Canada as a customer and partner for its commercial and defence businesses.
