On March 4, 2025 Hon. Rob Lantz, Premier of Prince Edward Island and the Cabinet Committee on Trade Relations, announced the Government of Prince Edward Island’s Tariff Response Plan, outlining the province’s strategy to support businesses impacted by newly implemented U.S. tariffs.

“As a province, we did not ask for these tariffs, but we have been preparing for this reality,” said Hon. Rob Lantz, Premier of Prince Edward Island. “Our government has assessed, planned, and advocated—and now, we are taking action to protect our industries and support Island businesses through these challenges.”

The Tariff Response Plan includes immediate and targeted measures to help businesses adapt, maintain operations, and explore new trade opportunities. The first phase of programs, launched today, will provide capital relief, export assistance, and supply chain support. All U.S. products will be removed from the Liquor Control Commission catalogue and all U.S. products will be removed from the shelves immediately.
