 Canada has announced a major $1.5 billion tariff support package to help steel, aluminum, and copper-linked businesses manage pressure from US tariffs. The package includes a $1 billion Business Development Bank of Canada financing program offering favourable-term support to companies facing immediate financial strain.

An additional $500 million will be provided through the Regional Tariff Response Initiative, aimed at helping small and medium-sized businesses improve productivity, explore new markets, and strengthen long-term competitiveness. The move is designed not only to provide quick liquidity but also to support business transformation as trade challenges continue.

The Canadian government said the support is part of a wider response to tariff pressure, including measures on steel and aluminum imports and broader funding for tariff-hit industries. For Canada’s steel sector, the package offers timely relief while encouraging diversification, resilience, and stronger supply-chain planning.
