Premiers Ford, Holt, and Houston on plan to lower inter-provincial trade barriers in Canada | LIVE
On Wednesday, Ontario Premier Doug Ford will be joined by Vic Fedeli, Ontario Minister of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade, Susan Holt, the Premier of New Brunswick, and Tim Houston, the Premier of Nova Scotia to outline the latest steps Ontario is taking to break down trade barriers.
Lt.-Gov. Edith Dumont delivered Ford’s speech from the throne inside the legislative chamber on Tuesday, a ceremonial moment that outlines the government’s agenda for the next four years and officially kicks off the new legislative session.
Eliminating internal trade barriers between Canadian provinces is at the top of the government’s efficiency list.
Interprovincial trade is set up with a number of protectionist barriers that Ford says make trade easier with the United States than the rest of the country and also make labour mobility difficult.
The government plans to table a bill to begin eliminating interprovincial trade barriers as its “first order of business” on Wednesday. That law will treat goods and services from other Canadian provinces as identical to those made in Ontario — on condition other provinces match the change.
