What it does
The Anti-dumping and Countervailing program administers the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA), which protects Canadian producers and manufacturers from unfair foreign competition. The program conducts investigations to determine whether imports are being dumped and/or subsidized and ensures the assessment of any SIMA duties that are owing.

History and lineage
First appears in GC InfoBase's actual spending by program in 2018-19. The data does not record when a program was created; it may be older than its first appearance here, which is limited by the sources (program spending starts in 2010-11, Departmental Plans in 2018-19).
| Program | Relation | Years with data | Actual spending over those years |
|---|---|---|---|
| Anti-Dumping and Countervailing | This program | 2018-19 – 2028-29 | $72.9M |
No earlier or later program in the same department has a similar name.
