SUMMARY:Removing the roadblocks: How provinces can lead the charge on boosting internal trade
DESCRIPTION: \n\nJoin us for a webinar to tackle one of Canada’s most pressing economic challenges: the barriers to internal trade and worker mobility that are stifling productivity\, investment\, and wage growth in Canada. \nDrawing from his new paper Breaking barriers: How provinces can drive Canada’s prosperity by unlocking trade and labour mobility\, MLI Senior Fellow and Economics Professor Trevor Tombe will discuss how these obstacles are holding back businesses and workers alike\, and why waiting for a national solution is unnecessary. Provinces have the power to act boldly and independently – by recognizing regulations from other provinces\, improving labour mobility\, and removing unnecessary trade exemptions – paving the way for a more efficient\, resilient economy. \nCanada is facing unprecedented economic uncertainty thanks to US President Donald Trump’s tariff war and “51st state” annexation threats. As the country’s GDP per capita continues to decline\, the need for action has never been greater. This webinar will explore how provincial reforms can not only boost local economies but drive national growth\, reduce regional disparities\, and strengthen Canada’s overall economic resilience. Join us to discover how provincial action can unlock Canada’s full economic potential\, create a more integrated economy\, and secure a more self-sufficient\, prosperous future. \nSpeakers
