Canada Responds to U.S. Tariffs with Support for Workers and Businesses

 

The Canadian government has announced a comprehensive aid package to counter the economic impact of U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs. The measures include over $6 billion in funding to support businesses and workers affected by the trade war. 

Key initiatives include expanded access to the Employment Insurance (EI) Work-Sharing Program, which allows employees to work reduced hours while receiving partial EI benefits.
