Trudeau hosting summit today aimed at boosting economy amid Trump tariff threats | CBC News
Briefly

With concerns over U.S. tariffs looming, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau convened business and labor leaders in Toronto to explore strategies for enhancing Canada's economy. The Canada-U.S. Economic Summit will focus on fostering job creation and easing trade across provinces, aiming to overcome regulatory obstacles that have historically made interprovincial business more difficult. Internal Trade Minister Anita Anand expressed optimism about removing trade barriers swiftly, reflecting the urgency tied to changing U.S. policies regarding tariffs. The discussions are critical in light of the growing protectionist sentiment in the U.S.
Industry players have long complained that it's easier to do business with other countries than other provinces, largely due to regulatory barriers including differences in licensing requirements.
The Canada-U.S. Economic Summit will find ways to galvanize our economy, create more jobs and bigger paycheques, make it easier to build and trade within our borders and diversify export markets.
