Associate, Transaction Execution

Overview

Canada Enterprise Emergency Funding Corp. (CEEFC) is a subsidiary of Canada Development Investment Corp. (CDEV) established in 2020 and whose mandate is to administer the Large Employer Emergency Financing Facility (LEEFF) and the Large Employer Tariff Loan (LETL) facility since March 2025.

CEEFC was originally tasked with launching and administering the LEEFF program in response to the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. LEEFF made emergency loans available to Canada’s large employers that were unable to access traditional sources of capital at the time to keep them solvent and to support retention of tens of thousands of Canadian workers. LEEFF stopped taking new applications in 2022.

In March 2025, CEEFC was mandated to establish and administer the LETL facility to support large Canadian enterprises affected by actual and potential new tariffs and countermeasures and which face challenges accessing traditional sources of market financing.

CEEFC’s loan programs protect Canadian jobs and the Canadian economy by helping Canadian businesses remain solvent in times of significant economic shock. Loans provided under these programs are intended for otherwise viable large organizations that are unable to quickly access traditional sources of capital to manage and bridge liquidity needs through a period of significant economic uncertainty.

CDEV is a self-sustained federal Crown corporation that has become the entity of choice for critical financial transactions needed to help the federal government achieve its goals and maximize the value of its corporate assets. With a more than 40-year long history of operations, CDEV has seen its mandate expand over time to provide a breadth of financial advisory services and expertise to support the country’s broader economic objectives.

CDEV provides a unique and valuable perspective with deep financial expertise on the country’s most complex and diverse commercial transactions. Headquartered in Toronto with an office in Ottawa and subsidiary offices across the country, it is governed by an independent board of directors. CDEV has five key pillars of expertise:

• Managed Assets
• Capital & Funding Solutions
• Special Situations & Strategic Reviews
