P.E.I. government moving too fast on easing interprovincial trade restrictions, say opposition parties [Video]

Opposition parties on P.E.I. are urging caution when it comes to the Progressive Conservatives’ proposed bill to eliminate trade barriers between provinces. 

Debate began Tuesday in the legislature on the Interprovincial Trade and Mobility Act, introduced last Friday by Premier Rob Lantz. 

The bill would ease the flow of goods to and from other provinces with similar legislation, and make it easier for workers in some regulated professions to find employment on the Island. 

Lantz has said he wants to get the act through the legislature as fast as possible, but the Liberals and Greens argued that the government is moving too quickly to be able to figure out which trade barriers it should keep.
