Freer trade within Canada would spur growth

The Chamber supports an initiative to lift inter-provincial trade barriers, currently being raised by our colleagues at nine of Canada's largest chambers of commerce.
 
In a series of videos promoted on Twitter, the Canadian Global Cities Council showcases how Canada's economic recovery would be helped by a freer flow of goods between provinces.
 
A Few Facts

• More than $80 billion in economic potential is lost every year because of trade barriers between provinces.
• Those barriers add nearly 7% to the costs of goods.
• Free trade between provinces is supported by 90% of Canadians
• GDP in Canada could increase by 4% – more than from any of our recent international trade agreements.
