Federal Emergency Support Available: Regional Tariff Response Initiative

August 31, 2026

In light of recent trade developments between Canada and the United States, the Government of Canada is strengthening the Regional Tariff Response Initiative (RTRI) with additional investments to support Canadian businesses affected by trade disruptions. The Saskatchewan Chamber is sharing this update so our members are aware of available supports.

What’s Available:
The RTRI now includes additional investments, including liquidity supports, to help small and medium-sized enterprises across all sectors manage tariff-related pressures. This includes businesses in steel, automotive, food security, and beyond. The program invests in targeted, time-sensitive activities that boost productivity, lower costs, strengthen supply chain resilience, and open doors to new markets.

Learn more about the Regional Tariff Response Initiative (RTRI) here.

For additional RTRI information, contact PrairiesCan directly at one of their regional offices or by calling 1-888-338-9378.
