What are the parties promising on Trump's tariffs?

Trump's tariffs platforms

Here's what the 2025 Canadian election parties are promising.

We don't have any Liberal policies on Trump's tariffs.

Create a $3B fund to provide short-term credit lines and low-interest loans to businesses affected by Trump's tariffs, to help them keep workers on the job

"The Keep Canadians Working Fund is a targeted, temporary liquidity program designed to help businesses affected by sudden tariffs keep workers on the job. It will provide up to $3 billion in short-term credit lines and low-interest loans to ensure companies can maintain operations and keep employees working in industries affected by Trump tariffs.

The Fund is modelled on the Business Credit Availability Program (BCAP) that the Harper government created during the 2008 recession to successfully protect affected businesses and jobs. The program will be administered through three existing federal entities: the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC), Export Development Canada (EDC) and Farm Credit Canada (FCC)."

Remove GST from the sale of new Canadian-made cars, as long as Trump's auto tariffs remain in place

"To counter this unjustified attack, Poilievre will temporarily remove the Goods and Services Tax (GST) on purchases of all new Canadian-manufactured vehicles. The GST will be removed as long as Trump’s tariffs remain in place." — conservative.ca, retrieved 2025-04-17

Soutenir des contre-tarifs ciblés et raisonnables, tout en se faisant le porte-voix des entreprises qui devront en être exemptées
Soutenir des mesures d’aide aux entreprises et aux travailleurs affectés, incluant un programme de la subvention salariale
Réserver les revenus des contre-tarifs aux entreprises ayant subi les effets des mesures d’intimidation de l’administration américaine
Déposer une stratégie pour soutenir l’achat local

Le Bloc Québécois déposera une stratégie pour soutenir l’achat local, incluant des frais postaux aussi avantageux pour les PME que les grandes entreprises ainsi qu’une restriction des frais d’interchange facturés aux commerçants.
Proposer l’instauration des critères d’approvisionnement local dans les appels d’offres publics, comparables au « Buy American Act »

Ceux-ci avec des garanties de retombées économiques pour le Québec
