Victor Fedeli, the current Finance Minister of Ontario, is speaking about the importance of Bill 2, which is focused on enhancing interprovincial trade within Canada. He emphasizes that this legislation represents an unprecedented level of commitment to breaking down trade barriers among provinces, which would lead to significant economic benefits. The removal of these barriers is expected to facilitate greater business opportunities and growth across the country.

Fedeli also points out that the province of Ontario has successfully attracted 184 international companies over the last two years.

This is a testament to the efforts made by the provincial government to reduce business costs by $8 billion annually and to prepare suitable sites for these companies. By continuing to create a favorable business environment, Ontario aims to maintain its reputation as a reliable and attractive investment destination. The implication is that other provinces may also choose to follow suit and adopt similar policies to promote internal trade and attract more global businesses to Canada.
