In this case it would be under the jurisdiction of NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement).
The basic claim is that not only were the C-series sold to Delta sold below cost, they were sold at a lower price than those sold to (domestic) Air Canada (and there is considerable evidence of that). Hence the dumping charge.
As Lone Wolf notes, this is far from final - there are still several more gates in the process. My bet is that there is already behind the scenes negotiation going on and some sort of deal will be struck before any money actually changes hands.
