New Procurement Policy

Our government is laser focused on getting the U.S. to lift their unjustified, unfair, and illegal tariffs immediately.

Ontario will never start a trade or tariff war with the U.S., but in response, we are taking appropriate and proportional actions to defend Ontario’s businesses and families.

The new Procurement Restriction Policy restricts U.S. businesses from accessing public sector procurements in Ontario by restricting public sector buyers from procuring from U.S. businesses.

The new policy is currently in effect for Ontario government entities (ministries, provincial agencies, Independent Electricity System Operator and Ontario Power Generation) and for designated Broader Public Sector (BPS) organizations. 

Our government will do whatever it takes to protect Ontario’s businesses and workers who are affected by these unfair tariffs.
