Canada’s premiers announced their commitment to a new Free Trade Agreement at the end of their summer meeting in Whitehorse, Yukon.
The agreement in principle replaces the current Agreement on Internal Trade, which was put in place in 1995.
When finalized, the agreement is said to enhance trade between provinces and territories while building the economy, and creating jobs.
The establishment of a working group on alcoholic beverages will also explore trade in beer and wine through the agreement.
The premiers also discussed health-care sustainability, infrastructure spending, international trade and immigration.
