Quebec bill would let goods from other provinces bypass local rules
Quebec is moving to lower interprovincial trade barriers, with some exceptions. Minister for the Economy Christopher Skeete has tabled a bill to remove all restrictions on the use and sale of products from other provinces. It also states that the government can exclude some goods from the bill and must publish a list of exceptions online. The proposed legislation comes amid a push by provinces and the federal government to lower interprovincial trade barriers in response to U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs. The bill states that goods from other provinces and territories may be "commercialized, used or consumed" in Quebec without further requirements relating to their manufacturing, composition or classification.

Mexico sees USMCA review starting in late September or early October
MEXICO CITY, May 27 (Reuters) - Mexico expects a planned review of the trilateral trade pact with the U.S. and Canada to formally begin at the beginning of the fourth quarter this year, Economy Minister Marcelo Ebrard said on Tuesday. "The formal start is expected at the end of September, the first week of October, for evaluation," Ebrard told journalists on the sidelines of a banking event. The USMCA, which replaced the North American Free Trade Agreement in 2020 and was negotiated during U.S. President Donald Trump's first term, requires the three countries to hold a joint review after six years. Ebrard previously said he expected the review to start in the second half of the year, ahead of schedule. Trump has publicly pushed for the agreement to be renegotiated ahead of time and has called for the U.S. to receive better trade terms with all of its commercial partners.
