Ontario announces $11-billion in promised tariff relief for businesses

April 7, 2025
Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced $11-billion in tariff-related relief for businesses – a plan pledged during his winter re-election campaign – while facing criticism that his ban on contracts with American companies doesn’t apply to U.S. firms with more than 250 employees in Canada.With the economy and financial markets reeling from U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariff regime, Mr. Ford announced Monday that his government was offering Ontario businesses six months of tax deferrals as the levies weighed on the province’s auto, steel and aluminum sectors.
