This book was released on 2019-07-22 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper assesses the costs of internal trade barriers and proposes policies to improve internal trade. Estimates suggest that complete liberalization of internal trade in goods can increase GDP per capita by about 4 percent and reallocate employment towards provinces that experience large productivity gains from trade. The positive impact highlights the need for federal, provincial and territorial governments to work together to reduce internal trade barriers. There is significant scope to build on the new Canadian Free Trade Agreement to more explicitly identify key trade restrictions, resolve differences, and agree on cooperative solutions.

This book was released on 1998-04-01 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Under a federal system of government, the division of responsibilities between the federal, provincial/state, and local levels of government may create internal barriers to trade. To deal with this problem, the federal and provincial governments in Canada established the Agreement on Internal Trade (AIT). This paper takes stock of the achievements and shortcomings of the AIT. Because the internal barriers to trade being addressed by the AIT are not unique to Canada, the agreement presents a useful model for reform that could be emulated by other countries.

Download or read book Booze Cigarettes and Constitutional Dust Ups written by Ryan Manucha and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2022-10-15 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gerard Comeau, a retiree living in rural New Brunswick, never thought his booze run would turn him into a Canadian hero. In 2012, after Comeau had driven to Quebec to purchase cheaper beer and crossed back into his home province, police officers participating in a low-stakes sting operation tailed and detained him, confiscated his haul, and levied a fine of less than $300. Countries routinely engage in trade wars and erect barriers to protect domestic industries from foreign competition. Comeau, however, was detained by the full force of the law for engaging in commerce with a Canadian business on the other side of a domestic border. With Comeau’s story as its starting point, Booze, Cigarettes, and Constitutional Dust-Ups tells the fascinating tale of Canadian interprovincial trade. Ryan Manucha examines the historical, political, and legal forces that gave rise to the regulation of interprovincial commerce in Canada, the trade-offs that come with liberalized domestic free trade, and Canada’s enduring pursuit of economic union. The pandemic laid bare the vulnerability of global supply chains, the fickleness of foreign trading partners, and the surprising slipperiness of domestic trade. In a global climate of increasingly isolationist geopolitics, the history and possibility of Canada’s economic union, quirks and all, deserve careful attention.

Download or read book The Splintered Market written by Richard Haack and published by Lorimer. This book was released on 1981-01-01 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written in the early 1980s when federal and provincial governments clashed determinedly over the Constitution, this study focuses on the many barriers that impeded interprovincial trade in the country's most valuable resource--its food. The authors identified several areas where trade was restrained through a variety of non-tariff mechanisms, including marketing boards, discretionary subsidies, liquor control regulations, provincial procurement policies and packaging and labelling. Based on interviews with government officials, academics and business executives, the book argued that interprovincial and federal-provincial economic links were in decline, threatening the political links that defined the nation. The Splintered Market offered a forceful argument against the economic and political "balkanization" of Canada in the early 1980s.

Download or read book Provincial Trade Wars written by K. Filip Palda and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explains why Canadians must rid themselves of interprovincial trade barriers. Canada's provinces do almost as much trade with each other as they do with the rest of the world. But trade between the provinces is harder than with foreign countries. We trouble our own house with an amazing variety of barriers: professionals and tradespeople cannot move freely and practice where they wish, regulation makes it hard for investments to flow to where they are most needed, provincial governments give contracts to local firms even though out-of-province firms can do the job at a lower cost, Ottawa pays the most generous UI to regions with the highest unemployment and thereby encourages people to stay in parts of the country with little promise. The effects of such barriers on the economy are difficult to measure, which may be the reason that little has been done about them. But Canadians cannot afford to ignore their costs. The European Community is very close to the goal of ensuring free trade among its members. Unless we unlock our potential we may fall behind other countries and communities that have recognized the importance of internal as well as external free trade.

This book was released on 1996 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Provincial access to national markets are essential in achieving economies of scale and efficiencies of production, that are critical for most industries to be competitive on an international scale in an era of rapid trade globalization. Based on the 1990 Interprovincial Input-Output Accounts this publication presents an overview of interprovincial and international trade flows that examines provincial trade balances, relative importance between internal and external trade, commodities most traded and international trade linkages. It provides an analysis of economic activity underlying interprovincial trade in terms of Gross Domestic Product and jobs created by exports, economic dependence on trade and rates of economic returns to trade, and an industrial profile of trade looking at the economic contributions of industries through exports as well as industrial dependence on export markets. The document also presents a trade profile for each province and territory illustrated with summary charts and selected analytical statistical summaries, and contains several statistical tables on interprovincial and international trade flows.
