Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston introduced legislation on Tuesday that aims to reduce trade barriers within Canada as the country stares down tariff threats from the United States. Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston tabled legislation on Tuesday that will facilitate trade and labour mobility with provinces and territories that remove similar restrictions.
“If it’s good enough for another province, it’ll be good enough for Nova Scotia because I trust other provinces and territories to have appropriate requirements that keep their citizens safe,” Premier Tim Houston said in a news conference on Tuesday. Mr. Houston said he contacted other premiers on Monday to tell them about the bill, and that many senior members of their governments have already responded with interest.
Mr. Houston said premiers are still working to avoid tariffs, but are also preparing for a scenario where the U.S. makes good on its threats.
