The Atlantic Chamber of Commerce says now is the time for governments to act and follow the lead of Nova Scotia.
Rhonda Tulk-Lane, the CEO of the Atlantic Chamber, has just returned from a meeting with her counterparts across the country, as well as the premiers.
Nova Scotia has tabled legislation which recognizes the jurisdiction in other provinces provided that province recognizes and accepts Nova Scotia’s jurisdiction.
They submitted a formal proposal to the premiers calling for discussions to begin on ending inter-provincial trade barriers.
“We need to get this started so that we can send a big message to our neighbours to the south,” she told Your VOCM Mornings with host Russell Bowers.
Tulk-Lane says there are inconsistencies which can be straightened out immediately.
She says there are inconsistencies in regulations governing the operation of lights on transport trucks among Atlantic provinces, and the required duration of a course on fall protection for workers.
