(A Brief Forward Note from Doug Draper at Niagara At Large – If this legislation works and trade barriers between all of Canada’s provinces and terrorities are at long last broken down, it will be the beginning of building an economy east and west, and the beginning of the end of a north-south trade relationship that has made our country so vulnerable to the likes of Trump.
This, along with building stronger trading relationships with more friendly and reliable countries in Europe and elsewhere around the world, may deliver us to a day – the sooner, the better – when we can tell Trump and his MAGA army to take their trade war and shove it.)
Ottawa, Ontario – Canada’s new government has a mandate to build big, build bold, and build now. This June 20th, the Prime Minister, Mark Carney, welcomed the passing in the House of Commons of Bill C-5, One Canadian Economy Act.
The legislation will build one strong Canadian economy by:
- Removing federal barriers to internal trade and labour mobility, helping goods, services, workers, and businesses move freely across provinces and territories.
- Expediting nation-building projects that will connect and transform our country and unleash economic growth while ensuring environmental protections and Indigenous rights are upheld.
- Working with Indigenous Peoples through consultation and engagement to build shared prosperity.
Taken together, these measures will create and connect Canadians to good-paying careers and more prosperity. The Prime Minister shared an update on this work with the premiers of the provinces and territories during their meeting earlier today. The leaders agreed to stay in close contact as they reinforce Canada’s strength at home.
Indigenous partnership is a critical component of this legislation, and fulsome consultation will be pivotal to the success of future projects. The Government of Canada is committed to respecting the rights of Indigenous Peoples recognized and affirmed by section 35 of the Constitution Act, 1982 and the rights set out in the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. To this end, Prime Minister Carney will be meeting with First Nations, Inuit, and Métis over the coming weeks.
Bill C-5 now moves to the Senate for consideration and brings us one step closer to removing federal barriers to free trade by Canada Day.
