Here’s how provinces are trying to remove Canada’s internal trade barriers

CANADA, JUN 30 – Provincial and federal governments are collaborating to ease trade restrictions and promote labour mobility, with the Canadian Federation of Independent Business noting progress among seven jurisdictions.

  • Bill C-5, which became law on June 26, 2025, eases national limitations on trade between provinces and accelerates the approval process for major infrastructure developments in Canada.
  • The legislation responds to the U.S.-Canada tariff war and long-standing provincial trade barriers, with federal and provincial leaders intensifying efforts to improve internal trade.
  • Provinces such as Manitoba, British Columbia, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Yukon, and New Brunswick have introduced various bills or agreements aimed at easing trade restrictions, including Manitoba and B.C.’s memorandums and Yukon’s plan to eliminate specific exemptions within the framework of the Canadian Free Trade Agreement.
  • Ryan Mallough, vice-president of legislative affairs at CFIB, acknowledged the positive progress made but cautioned that differing mutual recognition strategies across seven jurisdictions might unintentionally rebuild the very barriers they aim to eliminate.
  • These measures suggest initial advances toward freer internal trade but imply ongoing challenges as provinces continue adjusting policies, with key areas like trucking and labour mobility remaining on the agenda.
