WHEREAS interprovincial trade barriers restrict market access for businesses and limit opportunities for local governments to source competitively within Canada;
AND WHEREAS eliminating these barriers would facilitate economic growth, encourage interprovincial commerce, and provide local governments with greater flexibility in procurement decisions;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that NCLGA and UBCM urge the provincial and federal governments to take immediate action to reduce and eliminate interprovincial trade barriers, improving market access for Canadian businesses, and enabling local governments to procure goods and services from across the country more efficiently.
