Abstract
(HJRES72 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2026-02-12): Received in the Senate and Read twice and referred to the Committee on Finance.
Why this matters
H.J.Res. 72 marks the House chamber joining Senate efforts (SJRES37, SJRES77) to challenge the IEEPA-based national emergency that underpins the 25% tariff on most Canadian imports and 10% on Canadian energy. Its referral to the Senate Finance Committee signals a procedural step in the congressional review track for emergency-declared tariffs, relevant to importers and exporters tracking the durability of the Canada tariff regime.
