In response to economic uncertainty and U.S. tariffs, Ontario and Saskatchewan's governments signed an MOU to reduce trade barriers. Premier Doug Ford emphasized the importance of free trade to protect both provinces and the broader Canadian economy. He indicated that by signing agreements with multiple provinces, including P.E.I., Ontario aims to enhance investor confidence and facilitate the movement of skilled workers. Saskatchewan's Premier Scott Moe echoed these sentiments, asserting the need for provinces to collaborate for a more competitive and resilient Canadian economy.
"Our government is on a mission to protect Ontario and to protect Canada. At a time when President [Donald] Trump is taking direct aim at our economy..."
"We're doing this by reducing barriers to internal trade... We need to build a more competitive, more resilient, more self-reliant Canadian economy."
