In response to President Trump’s escalating tariff attack, Premier Ford is directing all government agencies to prioritize Ontario and Canadian-made goods and services when spending taxpayer dollars.
Ontario is using the power of government procurement to protect Ontario workers, businesses and jobs from U.S. tariffs.
Ontario’s public sector spends approximately $30 billion annually on goods and services, and our government is working to ensure as much of that spending as possible supports Ontario workers, businesses and communities.
By keeping more government procurement dollars in Ontario, we are supporting local businesses, encouraging investment and strengthening communities across the province.
Buy Ontario applies across government purchasing, including Ontario-made vehicles, lumber, steel, machinery and other goods and services needed to deliver our $236 billion plan to build.
Ontario businesses have consistently demonstrated that they can compete and succeed on the world stage. The Buy Ontario Act ensures they have greater opportunities to grow here at home.
At a time of economic uncertainty, we will never stop fighting for Ontario workers and businesses and supporting Ontario-made products.
