Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for her excellent question.
I consulted the chambers of commerce in my riding, Madawaska—Restigouche, and I talked with people. We clearly want less red tape. We want to facilitate internal trade, especially given the uncertainty surrounding trade with the United States. My riding has a long border with our southern neighbour and five ports of entry. Our economy is quite heavily integrated with the U.S. economy.
A bill like this one is very appealing to business owners in my riding. It facilitates access to markets in other Canadian provinces and makes it easer for them to sell their products and services.
It is certainly being very well received and my region, like many others across the country, expects it to generate significant economic benefits.
