Mr. Speaker, eliminating internal trade barriers will create jobs, boost economic growth and lead to more choices for Canadian consumers. While we are encouraged by the progress to date, there is still work to be done to strengthen our national economy and global competitiveness.
As Canada signs on to more international agreements, we must ensure that Canadian companies have the same opportunities right here at home.
Yesterday's announcement will support essential work to show how free trade within Canada will directly benefit Canadians and our families.
