The CFIB says it’s important for provinces and the federal government to remove barriers to interprovincial trade to improve productivity and boost the economy.
Doing business across provincial lines is starting to get easier but progress is slow, says the Canadian Federation of Independent Business.
There has been some recent progress, including the federal government removing eight procurement exemptions to the Canadian Free Trade Agreement this year and committing to removing an additional six by year-end. “Despite some positive steps … overall progress has been minimal,” said Jairo Yunis, director for B.C. and western economic policy for the CFIB, in a statement.
Overall, the report ranks Manitoba as leading the way on interprovincial trade, while Quebec ranked last.
