The Canadian Federation of Independent Business is urging all provincial governments to remove internal trade barriers restricting the movement of goods, services and labour right across the country.

U.S. President Donald Trump says his administration is still poised to impose 25 per cent tariffs on all Canadian goods bound for the United States starting March 4th.

The CFIB says it’s pleased to see so much attention being placed on the urgent need for open trade within Canada.

The CFIB’s senior policy analyst, SeoRhin Yoo says Canada’s premiers have all the tools at their disposal to allow goods and workers to move freely across the country, and making the necessary changes “shouldn’t be a drawn-out process.”
