The governments of Newfoundland and Labrador and New Brunswick have signed a memorandum of understanding on free trade and labour mobility.
To combat the potential negative effects of tariffs and improve Canada’s economy, Canada’s premiers are working together with the federal government to reduce interprovincial trade barriers.
This agreement commits both parties to improve labour mobility, flow of goods, services and investment.
Newfoundland and Labrador is working as part of a united Team Canada approach to identify interprovincial trade barriers that can help create new economic opportunities.
It has also led a series of productive roundtable discussions with industry, community and labour that have helped inform the creation of Buy Newfoundland and Labrador, a campaign that encourages residents to support local and Canadian businesses, as well as trade development activities.
