Government of Canada, Provinces and Territories Reach Unprecedented Agreement-in-Principle on Internal Trade
(firmenpresse) - OTTAWA, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 07/22/16 -- Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada
In an increasingly global economy, Canada must have a free trade agreement that lowers barriers within our own country. An open Canadian market creates well-paying jobs for the middle class and those working hard to join it. It drives economic growth and provides consumers with more choice. It also enables Canadian businesses to be as competitive at home as they are abroad.
Today, the Honourable Navdeep Bains, Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development, welcomed the announcement that an unprecedented agreement-in-principle to modernize Canada''s internal trade framework was endorsed by premiers at the Council of the Federation. This agreement is the result of a strong, collaborative effort among the Government of Canada, the provinces and the territories.
The Government of Canada has taken a lead role in ensuring that the new Canadian Free Trade Agreement will help grow the economy, create new opportunities for Canadian businesses and provide consumers with increased choice. This modern and ambitious agreement creates the right conditions for companies to turn ideas into innovations, get new products and services to market faster, and scale up their businesses more quickly and easily.
Enabling companies to do business more easily and accelerating their growth are among the areas for action identified in the Government''s , a six-point plan for positioning Canada as a global centre for innovation. This agreement reflects that vision in action and will create jobs, drive growth across all industries and improve the lives of all Canadians.
The Government of Canada is proud to have worked with the provinces and territories to deliver real and positive change to foster a stronger, more innovative economy. Federal, provincial and territorial governments will now work to ratify this agreement for Canada''s 150th anniversary.
