Ching and Fredette: This is the right time to boost trade between Ontario and Quebec
The Ottawa Board of Trade and the Gatineau Chamber of Commerce applaud the federal government's recent decision to remove federal barriers to interprovincial trade. This step is a game-changer for our region, setting the stage for even closer economic integration and unlocking new opportunities for businesses on both sides of the Ottawa River. Article content With the federal government now acting decisively, the momentum seems unstoppable. Ontario and Quebec have already seen remarkable progress in harmonizing regulations and recognizing professional credentials. However, even more work is needed by the two provinces to ultimately enable seamless interprovincial trade. Article content Article content Article content Here's what this would mean in practice: Article content Expanded Market Access: With more barriers coming down between the two provinces, local manufacturers in Gatineau would be able to sell their products to retailers and distributors in Ottawa with fewer bureaucratic hurdles. For example, a Gatineau-based food producer could supply Ottawa restaurants and grocery stores more easily, eliminating redundant paperwork and inspections. Article content Simplified Supply Chains: Technology firms in Ottawa could source hardware components and software solutions from Quebec suppliers without facing additional certification requirements or delays. This would accelerate product development cycles and reduce costs for startups and established tech companies alike. Article content Greater Workforce Mobility: Skilled professionals — such as engineers, nurses, and electricians — would find it easier to work across provincial lines. A plumber certified in Ontario could take on projects in Gatineau without the need for costly re-certification, and a Quebec-based teacher could accept a position in Ottawa schools with minimal administrative burden. Article content Lower Costs for Consumers: With more efficient supply chains and reduced regulatory duplication, consumers in our region would see lower prices and greater choice. For instance, Ottawa hardware stores could stock products from Quebec suppliers at more competitive prices, and Gatineau residents would have access to a broader range of services from Ontario providers. Article content Article content Ontario and Quebec have both made significant strides in harmonizing regulations and reducing barriers to trade. Their efforts have already delivered real benefits for our region, and the federal action will amplify these gains. By working together, our governments are sending a clear message: Ottawa-Gatineau is one economic region, and our businesses deserve every opportunity to succeed. Article content The Ottawa Board of Trade and the Gatineau Chamber of Commerce will continue to advocate for further harmonization and the removal of any remaining barriers, ensuring that our region remains a model for cross-border cooperation and economic success.
