Book excerpt: In order of priority, the recommendations address the following: • urgent renewal of the Agreement on Internal Trade, with provisions that would replicate some of the key characteristics of the country's international trade agreements; 1 The Standing Senate Committee on Banking, Trade and Commerce • a potential reference to the Supreme Court of Canada; and • other federal actions that would contri [...] The committee is strongly of the view that the AIT's dispute-resolution mechanism is ineffective, and feels that the mechanisms in other trade agreements - including the North American Free Trade Agreement, the Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade 6 The Standing Senate Committee on Banking, Trade and Commerce Agreement and the New West Partnership Trade Agreement - should be cons [...] To that end, section 121 of the Constitution Act, 1867 prohibits explicit barriers to trade and commerce between the provinces, stating: "All Articles of the Growth, Produce or Manufacture of any one of the Provinces shall, from and after the Union, be admitted free into each of the other Provinces." At the same time, the committee is aware that Canadian federalism - in respect of which the divisi [...] Given that the deadline for a renewed AIT has passed, and that the Committee on Internal Trade has not announced a new deadline, the committee believes that the federal government has a responsibility to plan, not only for the implementation of a renewed AIT, but also for the possibility that a renewed agreement may not be reached in a timely manner or may be inadequate. [...] The committee is strongly of the view that now is the time - in fact, the time is overdue - for the federal government to focus on tearing down the walls that inhibit internal trade.
Download or read book Internal Trade in Canada Case for Liberalization written by Jorge Alvarez and published by International Monetary Fund. 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.
Download or read book Trade and Commerce written by Malcolm Lavoie and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2023-02-15 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent decades, the economic framework of Canada’s Constitution has been a subject largely neglected by judges, scholars, and commentators. Trade and Commerce fills this gap by bringing to light a lost understanding of how the Constitution structures economic relations. As Malcolm Lavoie reveals, the Constitution includes foundational commitments to property rights, local government autonomy, and the principle of subsidiarity. At the same time, it creates a platform for integrated national markets with secure channels for interprovincial trade. This economic vision remains a vital part of Canada’s constitutional order and is relevant to a purposive interpretation of the Constitution. But contemporary legal discourse has begun to lose touch with this vision, with regrettable consequences in a number of different policy areas. Exploring the implications of the economic Constitution in the context of contemporary issues – including disputes over interprovincial trade and jurisdictional tensions between federal, provincial, and Indigenous governments with respect to the environment and the economy – Trade and Commerce restores economic ideas to the forefront of constitutional thinking in Canada.
Download or read book Canada written by International Monetary Fund. Western Hemisphere Dept. and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2017-07-13 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 2017 Article IV Consultation highlights that Canadian economy has regained momentum, supported by the authorities’ pro-active growth strategy, but complex adjustments are still at play. Although personal consumption is robust, business investment remains weak, nonenergy exports have underperformed, and housing market imbalances have risen. Externally, the global outlook has improved, but uncertainty surrounding global trade and risks of economic fragmentation may negatively affect the durability of the Canadian recovery. A strong United States economy, expansionary fiscal and monetary policy, and stable oil prices are expected to lift real GDP growth to 2.5 percent in 2017 and 1.9 percent in 2018. Residential construction is expected to expand at a more moderate pace, reflecting tighter macroprudential measures.
Download or read book Canada in Question written by Peter MacKinnon and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2022-03 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring pressing questions around Canadian citizenship, Canada in Question delves into contemporary issues that come into play in identifying what it means to be Canadian. Beginning with an update on the status of Canadian citizenship, Peter MacKinnon acknowledges that with the exception of Indigenous peoples, most Canadians migrated to Canada in the last 400 years. In surveying the status of citizenship, the author addresses the impact of these newcomers on Indigenous peoples, and the subsequent impression that the following influx of new immigrants and migrants has had on citizenship. MacKinnon investigates the ties that bind Canadians to their country and to their fellow citizens, and how these ties are often challenged by global influences, such as identity politics and social media. Shedding light on the connection between economic opportunity and citizenship, and on the institutional context in which differences must be accommodated, Canada in Question examines current circumstances and new challenges, and looks to the unique future of Canadian citizenship.
Download or read book Braver Canada written by Derek H. Burney and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2020-03-12 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world is changing - geopolitically and economically - at an alarmingly fast pace. Populism, protectionism, and authoritarianism are on the rise. Braver Canada analyzes these and many other global shifts, offering provocative prescriptions for both the public and the private sectors. Reviewing the foreign policy challenges, achievements, and missteps of the Justin Trudeau government, Derek Burney and Fen Hampson argue that the country's leadership must craft a new approach to global affairs based on a solid grasp of current and emerging global political and economic realities. They focus on competitiveness, trade, energy, environment, and immigration and refugee issues, also discussing a recalibration of relations with China and India. Expanding on the ideas and policy recommendations in their previous book, Brave New Canada, which called for Canada to diversify its economic ties outside the United States, they note how the global and regional environment has shifted dramatically in recent years. A timely and compelling analysis, Braver Canada lays out the challenges for Canada in a rapidly changing, turbulent world and the strategies required for future prosperity.
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.
