Toronto Region Board of Trade to deliver targeted trade programming for small and medium-sized enterprises to be compliant under the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement
As global trade conditions evolve and supply chains face increasing complexity, the Government of Canada is taking action to help Ontario businesses strengthen their trade readiness and competitiveness in key export markets.
Today, Chi Nguyen, Member of Parliament for Spadina−Harbourfront, on behalf of the Honourable Evan Solomon, Minister of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Innovation and Minister responsible for the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario (FedDev Ontario), announced an investment of $500,000 for the Toronto Region Board of Trade and its World Trade Centre Toronto to deliver the CUSMA (Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement) Compliance Series, a targeted program supporting Ontario small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
For many businesses, navigating trade requirements can be complex and time-consuming. Through this project, Ontario SMEs will have access to expert-led workshops and tailored one-on-one coaching to help them navigate the trade rules and compliance processes required under CUSMA. This support will help businesses improve operational certainty and better position themselves to compete and grow in North American markets.
This investment reflects the Government of Canada's ongoing commitment to helping businesses adapt to changing trade dynamics, build resilience, and remain competitive in a global economy, while helping to build Canada strong.
