The federal government of Canada and the province of Ontario launched a joint financial aid package to assist manufacturers managing trade levies from the United States. This C$9 billion fund focuses on protecting the steel and automotive industries while increasing the capacity of the critical minerals supply chain.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford and Mark Carney were expected to lead the unveiling of the program, according to CTV. The funding represents a coordinated effort between the national and provincial administrations to shield industrial sectors from foreign tariffs.
