As part of the Government of Canada's expenditure restraint measures announced on September 25, funding for the CANtex program has been reduced by a total of $24.9 million over the next two years.

There is still CANtex program funding available to help Canada’s textile industry improve its productivity and refocus production on higher value-added products.

The government will continue to work with industry stakeholders to address the challenges facing our apparel and textile industries, and to promote new opportunities.
