TORONTO (Reuters) - Ontario will provide around C$11 billion ($7.7 billion) in relief to workers and businesses to help weather tariffs in Canada's largest province, Premier Doug Ford said in an X post on Monday.

The relief comes in the form of deferred taxes for businesses and a rebate for employers to help keep workers in jobs, a statement from the province said.
