The federal government has extended its temporary remission program for firms affected by U.S. tariffs through June 30, 2028 while expanding the mix of eligible goods.
The Story
OTTAWA — The federal government says it is extending its temporary remission program for firms importing tariffed U.S. goods by another year, with the program’s expiration date moved to June 30, 2028.
Ottawa also says it is changing which products qualify for remissions. In addition to expanding beyond steel, the program would include non-steel goods used in manufacturing, agricultural production, mining and oil and gas extraction.
The government says goods used by public education entities, including those mandated by Indigenous organizations, would also be eligible for relief.
Ottawa says it plans to exclude goods that can be reliably sourced in Canada, including certain trailers, aluminum wire and paperboard products.
