Protecting Workers from Tariffs and Trade Disruptions

Ontario is expanding eligibility for the Protect Ontario Financing Program and the Ontario Together Trade Fund to help businesses and workers respond to new U.S. tariffs and trade restrictions.

The $1 billion Protect Ontario Financing Program provides businesses with access to loans to help cover operating costs and protect jobs, while the $150 million Ontario Together Trade Fund supports investments that strengthen supply chains, improve competitiveness, and open new markets.

These measures build on Ontario’s nearly $30 billion tariff support plan, ensuring businesses have the tools they need to navigate economic uncertainty, protect workers, and keep communities strong.
