Today, Premier Ford was joined by British Columbia Premier David Eby, Yukon Premier Mike Pemberton, Northwest Territories Premier R.J. Simpson, and Nunavut Premier P.J. Akeeagok to sign two new Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) to boost internal trade, improve labour mobility, and tear down long-standing barriers to doing business between provinces and territories.

Ontario is the first, and so far, the only province or territory in Canada to eliminate all party-specific exceptions under the Canadian Free Trade Agreement.
