Bringing trade barriers between provinces to an end in Canada will significantly facilitate internal trade and public tendering (Municipal, Health, Education, Provincial and Federal).
– Reduced Costs and Delays: Removing trade barriers would make it easier for companies to bid on tenders in other provinces. Not having to comply with different standards and regulations would reduce administrative costs and delays associated with bid preparation [1].
– Increased Competition: With fewer restrictions, more companies could participate in public tenders, thereby increasing competition. More competition could lead to more competitive bids and better-quality services and products [1].
– Standard Harmonization: The abolition of trade barriers could encourage the harmonization of standards and regulations between provinces, making it easier for companies to participate in public tenders. For example, mutual recognition of professional licenses and certifications could make it easier for companies to work in several provinces [1].
–Access to a Larger Market: Companies would have access to a larger market, which could enable them to grow and develop more rapidly. This could also encourage innovation and improvements in the products and services offered [1].
–Streamlining of Processes: simplifying bidding processes and reducing bureaucratic requirements could make public tenders more accessible to small and medium-sized businesses, thus encouraging a greater diversity of suppliers [1].
In summary, the elimination of trade barriers between Canadian provinces could make domestic trade and public tendering more efficient, competitive and accessible, while reducing costs and delays for businesses [1].
