Statement by Colleges Ontario on Prime Minister Carney’s tariff response announcement: Colleges key to Canada’s economic future - Colleges Ontario

Prime Minister Mark Carney today announced new measures to support Canadian industries and workers affected by the ongoing trade dispute with the United States, including reskilling and employment supports. Ontario’s colleges welcome federal leadership and the focus on economic resilience through retaining, upskilling and increased investments through Labour Market Development Agreements (LMDAs) with provinces and territories. With a long history of partnering with local employers, Ontario’s colleges are leaders reskilling to ensure that local labour markets have the graduates and workers they need. Ontario’s public colleges currently train nearly half of the province’s manufacturing, nuclear, utilities and mining workforce, have more than 15,000 nursing students enrolled and deliver over 80 per cent of in-class apprenticeship training each year.
