REGINA, Saskatchewan — The Government of Canada is now matching the new U.S. tariffs dollar-for-dollar and is providing $7.5 billion in new and enhanced support for affected workers and businesses. As part of these efforts, Prairies Economic Development Canada (PrairiesCan) and Canada’s other Regional Development Agencies are now delivering $3.45 billion in an expanded Regional Tariff Response Initiative (RTRI) to help more businesses affected by tariffs. Support is also available for not-for-profit organizations that help businesses adapt, grow, and expand domestic trade opportunities. Today, Minister Eleanor Olszewski announced expanded support through RTRI, with applications now being accepted from eligible SMEs and organizations. In Saskatchewan, the Honourable Buckley Belanger also announced, on behalf of Minister Olszewski, $5.3 million for six RTRI projects led by firms across Saskatchewan.
