Canada's Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne says there's a sense of unity after emerging from a summit with his counterparts across the G7. The group of finance ministers and central bankers gathered this week in Banff, Alta., ahead of the G7 leaders' summit set for next month in nearby Kananaskis.

Canada's Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne said on Thursday that the discussions on tariffs did come up during a G7 finance leaders' meeting, even though there was mention of them in the final communique that was published.

Tariffs are an expected topic of discussion at a meeting of the top U.S. and Canadian finance advisers late Wednesday at the G7 gathering in Canada's Alberta province.
