B.C.-led agreement removes interprovincial trade barriers on products, except food
  • The Canadian Mutual Recognition Agreement was signed by all provinces, territories, and the federal government to remove interprovincial trade barriers on products, except food. This agreement represents a collaborative effort to streamline trade processes across Canada.
  • This development is crucial as it facilitates smoother trade relations among provinces, potentially boosting economic activity and cooperation in various sectors, excluding the food industry, which remains regulated separately.
  • The agreement comes at a time when British Columbia is also seeking support for its forestry sector, which faces challenges due to U.S. tariffs. This highlights ongoing economic pressures and the need for strategic collaboration among provinces to address sector-specific issues.
