Quebec has introduced a significant bill aimed at reducing trade barriers, marking its entry into the Canadian internal trade party. Minister Christopher Skeete emphasized the need for Quebec to be open to interprovincial trade, allowing products from other provinces to be marketed without extra requirements, with exceptions to be announced later. Despite criticisms of being protectionist, Skeete believes the new law could boost Quebec’s GDP by up to $25 billion, while Quebec’s MNAs reaffirmed the province’s right to protect its unique interests amidst calls for a unified Canadian economy.
