The federal government says that it has eliminated all interprovincial commercial barriers under its jurisdiction.
Ottawa has eliminated the remaining federal exceptions of the Canadian Free Trade Agreement (CFTA), the Minister of Internal Commerce, Chrystia Freeland, in a press release on Monday, said Monday.
Of the 53 exceptions eliminated, most of them focused on the acquisition, according to the press release.
“Today’s announcement is based on government efforts to strengthen the Canadian economy,” says the statement.
“The federal government will continue to show leadership in this area and work with provinces and territories to strengthen the CFTA, advance in mutual recognition and guarantee perfect labor mobility within Canada.”
Throughout the federal spring electoral campaign, Mark Carney as a liberal leader repeatedly promised “interprovincial commercial barriers and create” free trade for Canada’s day. “
But the internal commercial barriers of Canada will not be eliminated by then, not even all federals.
The Canada supply management system for dairy products, which establishes provincial production fees, will remain. Quebec also has language requirements that will remain in place.
The provinces have announced measures to reduce their own interprovincial commercial barriers in recent months.
