One year after the trade deal took effect on Canada's 150th birthday, July 1, 2017, has any tangible progress been made?
The president and CEO of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, Dan Kelly, said, "It's slow-going." The process lacks concrete timelines. He's still waiting for the inter-provincial trade committee to set priorities, let alone roll back barriers.
"I don't think there's anything that has changed, other than a commitment to start some work," he said, laughing a bit when asked to identify which specific irritants have been settled between provinces in the deal's first year of operations.
