August 25, 2026 – Ottawa, Ontario – Department of Finance Canada
“In a more uncertain world, Canada will continue to invest in our greatest strengths: our workers, our businesses, and our capacity to compete. Today’s new measures will protect jobs, strengthen the industries that drive our economy, and secure the supply chains that underpin our prosperity. Canada will not simply respond to change, we will shape it, growing a stronger economy that delivers opportunity, security, and prosperity for Canadians.”
– The Honourable Mélanie Joly, Minister of Industry and Minister responsible for Canada Economic Development for Quebec Regions
