OTTAWA — Energy and Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson says the government is looking at existing programs it could use to offer relief to those hit by U.S. President Donald Trump’s threat of tariffs and is open to recalling Parliament, should opposition parties agree to vote on an assistance package.&nbsp;

Wilkinson’s comments come the day after NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh, who has vowed to bring down the minority Liberals at the first chance he gets, expressed an interest in potentially working with the Liberals on a tariff-related relief package.
