Internal barriers to trade: Protecting industry or preventing growth?

October 4 @ 2:30 pm - 3:30 pm

Trade barriers are to be expected between countries. But when similar roadblocks are erected between provinces, they can send our economy down a bumpy road – costing Canadian consumers and businesses alike. In this webinar, we explore internal trade barriers in trucking as a case study to shed light on the broader consequences of restricting interprovincial trade. Join us for a panel conversation moderated by Macdonald-Laurier Institute Director of Domestic Policy, Tim Sargent with economist Trevor Tombe, and lawyer Ryan Manucha. They will discuss the reports economic findings and proposals to reduce these barriers that would lead to significant economic gains, preserve space for diversity in provincial regulations while ensuring that goods and services can flow more freely across borders.
