Push to tear down interprovincial trade barriers gains momentum https://t.co/yNJh3Is4gt

"@realDonaldTrump's tariffs create significant economic & political incentives toward internal trade liberalization... these make the risks that might otherwise be associated w/ unilateral provincial moves to reduce barriers relatively less unpalatable."

[Prime Minister of Canada @CanadianPM]

Now is the time to choose Canada. In the face of unjustified U.S. tariffs, Canada’s First Ministers are united in taking bold action to increase our economic resilience, reduce dependence on one market, and strengthen our domestic economy. https://t.co/sS2FoxF5Ft

Canadians want economic growth, good jobs, and a business climate free of unnecessary trade barriers in goods and services. There is unity around the table at the Committee on Internal Trade to make this a reality by eliminating interprovincial barriers and red tape.

While in Halifax, I met with business leaders from across Nova Scotia to discuss internal trade. The freer movement of goods and workers within Canada is key to our future economic prosperity - and Nova Scotia businesses have been leaders in that regard.
