Canada's Minister of Transport and Domestic Trade Anita Anand said on the 5th that since the US government is threatening to impose new tariffs on imported Canadian products, Canada should reduce domestic and interprovincial trade barriers as soon as possible. Anand said that Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau discussed this during an emergency meeting with provincial governors last week, and all parties are expected to break down inter-provincial trade barriers within a month. She also claimed that removing barriers to trade within Canada could reduce commodity prices by 15 per cent.
