imports beginning on Monday, including those from Canada and Mexico.<\/p>\n<p data-async=\"\">In response to the proposed tariffs, 88 per cent of Canadian businesses are at least considering diverting their exports to countries without tariffs, according to a recent survey by KPMG International Ltd.<\/p>\n<p>The survey said most Canadian business leaders are already taking drastic action to mitigate any impact from the tariffs, with 83 per cent looking to make their supply chains more resilient by either sourcing alternative materials, revisiting contracts or implementing new technologies, among other possible solutions.<\/p>\n<p data-async=\"\">Both Canada and Mexico secured a 30-day reprieve from Trump\u2019s tariffs, but Chinese imports have faced a 10 per cent increase since Feb. 4, which has 57 per cent of Canadian businesses looking to move production out of China, while 63 per cent say the U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports would hurt their business.<\/p>\n<p data-async=\"\">\u201cThe uncertainty caused by potential tariffs on Canadian goods and newly imposed tariffs on China has made it very difficult for Canadian companies to plan, operate and stay competitive,\u201d Alain Sawaya, national leader of KPMG in Canada\u2019s supply chain practice, said in a release.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"js-widget-content article-content__widget-group

Smaller suppliers with fewer options may struggle to absorb added costs, leading to a heightened risk of insolvency.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dan Kelly, president of the Canadian Federation for Independent Business, acknowledged the need for sweeping changes after the U.S. agreed to pause tariffs, though he focused on government intervention.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile we catch our breath and implement the border measures, we can\u2019t afford to take our eyes off the many other critical changes needed to prepare for the future,\u201d he said in a statement. \u201cThis means we need to seize the opportunity now to bring in policies that improve our investment climate, reduce taxes, slash red tape and break down internal trade barriers to ensure we are prepared no matter what external threats come our way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>KPMG warns there are risks involved when shifting production to another country and switching third-party suppliers, so business leaders should conduct a full risk
