• With President Trump’s ongoing threats to our economy, there’s never been a more important time to boost internal trade and build a more competitive, resilient and self-reliant economy.
• Through these agreements, premiers are working together to eliminate red tape, cut costs for businesses, and open new pathways for skilled workers to move more freely across the country.
• By signing these MOUs and working together, we’re helping Canada unlock up to $200 billion in economic potential and standing shoulder to shoulder to protect Canadian workers from coast to coast.
• As of today, Ontario has signed MOUs with 10 provinces and territories that will help boost opportunities for more cross-Canada commerce and protect the future of Canadian workers across the country.
• Through the Protect Ontario Through Free Trade Within Canada Act and the growing number of signed MOUs, we’re building a more competitive, more resilient, and more self-sufficient economy that can withstand the impact of U.S. tariffs and any other challenges that may come.
