Story summary

Premier Doug Ford and Prime Minister Mark Carney are set to announce new measures in Ottawa on Wednesday to support Canada’s steel, auto, and critical minerals sectors affected by the ongoing tariff war. The leaders will be joined by their respective finance and industry ministers. Sources indicate that the package is not aimed at specific companies but rather at assisting industries and workers undergoing a challenging transition while supporting trade diversification efforts.

The announcement follows recent U.S. actions, including rolling back fuel economy standards for vehicles, which could negatively impact Canadian auto manufacturers. The measures are expected to include support for clean investments in the automotive sector and addressing Canada's greenhouse gas emission standards. While details remain undisclosed, sources have confirmed that funding will be shared between federal and provincial governments with a mix of new and previously budgeted funds.

The timing of this announcement precedes a November 5th federal budget, likely aiming to mitigate economic impacts from increased trade tensions and support industries facing significant regulatory changes across borders.
