Prime Minister Mark Carney says his government would table legislation by Canada Day to remove all federal internal trade barriers as part of a plan to boost Canada’s economy amid tariff tensions.

Carney made the comments on March 21 after meeting with premiers in Ottawa. It was his first meeting with the group of premiers since being sworn in as prime minister, and it came just days before he is expected to call a federal election.
