PM Mark Carney announces measures to support sectors affected by U.S. tariffs – September 5, 2025

Prime Minister Mark Carney holds a news conference in Mississauga, Ont., to announce a suite of measures to support strategic sectors that have been impacted by U.S. tariffs. Among some of those measures, the prime minister outlines a plan for reskilling workers, a $5-billion fund to aid firms in sectors impacted by tariffs, a new "Buy Canada" policy, liquidity relief for Canadian businesses as well as support for the agriculture and seafood sectors. Carney also announces the government’s intention to pause its upcoming target for electric vehicle sales. He faces questions from reporters on whether the government plans to lift its tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles in response to Beijing decision to impose 75.8 per cent tariffs on Canadian canola imports. The prime minister is also asked about Russian President Vladimir Putin's rejection of a proposal for Western troops in Ukraine as part of a stabilization plan should a ceasefire be reached.
