(CBC) Prime Minister Mark Carney rolled out a series of measures on Friday that he says will transform Canada’s economy into a force that can withstand the trade shocks of the Trump administration.
The measures announced in the strategy have been targeted to specifically help workers and businesses that have been most impacted by U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs and trade disruptions.
“If you look back over our country’s history, we have turned challenges into opportunities,” Carney said in Mississauga, Ont. “And now, at this moment of profound change, we bear the same responsibilities and we should have the same ambitions as those who came before us.”
“We know we need to act now. Invest now. Precisely when it’s hard,” he added. “We are charting an economic strategy to move Canada from reliance to resilience, from uncertainty to prosperity.”
