Department of Finance Canada highlighted up to $90 million in loan assistance for C.A.T., a national transportation and logistics company exposed to tariff-related business pressure.
The support would be provided by the Canada Enterprise Emergency Funding Corporation through the Large Enterprise Tariff Loan facility.
Finance Canada said the facility was created in March 2025 as a $10 billion financing program for Canadian companies affected by actual or potential tariffs and countermeasures.
C.A.T. is described in the release as a logistics company serving manufacturing, industrial, and retail customers. Finance Canada said it employs 1,670 workers in Canada and operates more than 1,500 power units and 5,000 trailers.
Tariffs can raise costs, disrupt customer demand, and make ordinary market financing harder for affected companies, which is why the loan program sits beside other trade-response measures.
The loan facility is meant to provide liquidity where trade disruption creates pressure that a company may not be able to manage through normal financing channels.
For logistics and supply-chain businesses, the issue is continuity. Financing tied to tariff exposure can affect payroll, equipment, route capacity, and the ability to keep goods moving for manufacturers and retailers.
