The report states that if Canada were to remove domestic trade barriers, the actual GDP could grow by nearly 7%.

On the 27th local time, a report released by the International Monetary Fund shows that if Canada completely eliminates internal trade barriers between its 13 provinces and territories, the country's real GDP could increase by nearly 7% in the long term, equivalent to a value of $210 billion CAD. The report estimates that current internal barriers in Canada are equivalent to an average tariff of 9%. In some service industries, internal trade barriers are even equivalent to tariffs of over 40%. The report suggests that, in the face of pressure on global economic growth and increasing productivity constraints, Canada should integrate its domestic market and achieve faster growth by unleashing its market potential.
