Book Synopsis Internal Trade in Canada: Case for Liberalization by : Jorge Alvarez
Download or read book Internal Trade in Canada: Case for Liberalization written by Jorge Alvarez and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2019-07-22 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper assesses the costs of internal trade barriers and proposes policies to improve internal trade. Estimates suggest that complete liberalization of internal trade in goods can increase GDP per capita by about 4 percent and reallocate employment towards provinces that experience large productivity gains from trade. The positive impact highlights the need for federal, provincial and territorial governments to work together to reduce internal trade barriers. There is significant scope to build on the new Canadian Free Trade Agreement to more explicitly identify key trade restrictions, resolve differences, and agree on cooperative solutions.
Book Synopsis Provincial Trade Wars by : K. Filip Palda
Download or read book Provincial Trade Wars written by K. Filip Palda and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explains why Canadians must rid themselves of interprovincial trade barriers. Canada's provinces do almost as much trade with each other as they do with the rest of the world. But trade between the provinces is harder than with foreign countries. We trouble our own house with an amazing variety of barriers: professionals and tradespeople cannot move freely and practice where they wish, regulation makes it hard for investments to flow to where they are most needed, provincial governments give contracts to local firms even though out-of-province firms can do the job at a lower cost, Ottawa pays the most generous UI to regions with the highest unemployment and thereby encourages people to stay in parts of the country with little promise. The effects of such barriers on the economy are difficult to measure, which may be the reason that little has been done about them. But Canadians cannot afford to ignore their costs. The European Community is very close to the goal of ensuring free trade among its members. Unless we unlock our potential we may fall behind other countries and communities that have recognized the importance of internal as well as external free trade.

Download or read book The Economic Benefits of Interprovincial Trade in Canada written by Statistics Canada. Input-Output Division and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Provincial access to national markets are essential in achieving economies of scale and efficiencies of production, that are critical for most industries to be competitive on an international scale in an era of rapid trade globalization. Based on the 1990 Interprovincial Input-Output Accounts this publication presents an overview of interprovincial and international trade flows that examines provincial trade balances, relative importance between internal and external trade, commodities most traded and international trade linkages. It provides an analysis of economic activity underlying interprovincial trade in terms of Gross Domestic Product and jobs created by exports, economic dependence on trade and rates of economic returns to trade, and an industrial profile of trade looking at the economic contributions of industries through exports as well as industrial dependence on export markets. The document also presents a trade profile for each province and territory illustrated with summary charts and selected analytical statistical summaries, and contains several statistical tables on interprovincial and international trade flows.

Book Synopsis Do Think Tanks Matter?, Second Edition by : Donald E. Abelson

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is often assumed that think tanks carry enormous weight with lawmakers. In Do Think Tanks Matter? Donald Abelson argues that the basic question of how think tanks have evolved and under what conditions they can and do have an effect is consistently ignored. Think tank directors often credit their institutes with influencing major policy debates and government legislation and many journalists and scholars believe the explosion of think tanks in the latter part of the twentieth century indicates their growing importance in the policy-making process. Abelson goes beyond assumptions, identifying the influence and relevance of public policy institutes in today's political arena in the United States, where they've become an integral feature of the political landscape, and in Canada, where, despite recent growth in numbers, they enjoy less prominence than their US counterparts. By focusing on the policy cycle, issue articulation, policy formation, and implementation, Abelson argues that individual think tanks have sometimes played an important role in shaping the political dialogue and the policy preferences and choices of decision-makers but often in different ways and at different stages of the policy cycle. This revised and updated edition of the book includes up-to-date data (2000-08) on the growing visibility and policy relevance of think tanks in Canada and the United States.
Book Synopsis Canada's Unity Crisis by : Earl H. Fry
Download or read book Canada's Unity Crisis written by Earl H. Fry and published by New York : Twentieth Century Fund Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Canada celebrated a bittersweet 125th anniversary as a nation in 1992, bittersweet because many Canadians fear that their country may soon fall apart. As Quebec decides its own fate of voting for sovereign independence, the rest of Canada could follow suit and splinter as did the former Soviet Union. The likelihood of that actually happening is slim, however, there are major referendums on the coming ballot in Canada that could possibly alter not only the Canadian Constitution but the style and power of the government as well. Canada's own security is complex and will certainly be drawn-out, however, the United States could be of some assistance. For the foreseeable future, the most important connection between Canada and the United States are their economic ties and the bilateral relationship for both the U.S. corporate and labor sectors. With over three million jobs tied directly to trade, investment, and tourism linkages with Canada, the United States should be very concerned about what is transpiring north of the border. For far too long the American relationship with Canada has been overlooked and understudied. In this essay Earl H. Fry reports on the Canadian confederation and how it may now be at risk, and how the United States' own economic well-being may suffer as a result of the serious problems currently confronting Canada.
Book Synopsis Provincial Government Banks by : John Norman Benson
Download or read book Provincial Government Banks written by John Norman Benson and published by . This book was released on 1978 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the back cover: Can national financial institutions, such as banks, function in a country as regionally diverse as Canada without seeming to discriminate between the regions...This book...considera a very real and specific aspect of the sharing of regulatory power within Confederation. The results of Benson's study indicate that national policies, pursued either by governments or by private sector firms, may well produce different results in different regions. This regional dieversity is often interpreted as discrimination and because of it provincial governments are sometimes led to take countrevailling action. The concept of a provincial government is one such response.

Book Synopsis Do Think Tanks Matter?, First Edition by : Donald E. Abelson

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do Think Tanks Matter? evaluates the influence and relevance of public policy institutes in today's political arena. Many journalists and scholars believe the explosion of think tanks in the latter part of the twentieth century indicates their growing importance in the policy-making process. This perception has been reinforced by directors of think tanks, who often credit their institutes with influencing major policy debates and government legislation. Yet the basic question of how and in what way they influence public policy has, Donald Abelson contends, frequently been ignored. Abelson studies the experiences of think tanks in the United States, where they have become an integral feature of the political landscape, and in Canada, where their numbers have grown considerably in recent years but where, compared to their U.S. counterparts, they enjoy less prominence in policy-making. By focusing on the policy cycle, issue articulation (that is, getting issues on the political agenda) and policy formation and implementation (actually affecting the outcome of policies already on the political agenda), he argues that think tanks have sometimes played an important role in shaping the political dialogue and the policy preferences and choices of decision-makers, but often in different ways and at different stages of the policy cycle.
Book Synopsis Booze, Cigarettes, and Constitutional Dust-Ups by : Ryan Manucha
Download or read book Booze, Cigarettes, and Constitutional Dust-Ups written by Ryan Manucha and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2022-10-15 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gerard Comeau, a retiree living in rural New Brunswick, never thought his booze run would turn him into a Canadian hero. In 2012, after Comeau had driven to Quebec to purchase cheaper beer and crossed back into his home province, police officers participating in a low-stakes sting operation tailed and detained him, confiscated his haul, and levied a fine of less than $300. Countries routinely engage in trade wars and erect barriers to protect domestic industries from foreign competition. Comeau, however, was detained by the full force of the law for engaging in commerce with a Canadian business on the other side of a domestic border. With Comeau’s story as its starting point, Booze, Cigarettes, and Constitutional Dust-Ups tells the fascinating tale of Canadian interprovincial trade. Ryan Manucha examines the historical, political, and legal forces that gave rise to the regulation of interprovincial commerce in Canada, the trade-offs that come with liberalized domestic free trade, and Canada’s enduring pursuit of economic union. The pandemic laid bare the vulnerability of global supply chains, the fickleness of foreign trading partners, and the surprising slipperiness of domestic trade. In a global climate of increasingly isolationist geopolitics, the history and possibility of Canada’s economic union, quirks and all, deserve careful attention.
Book Synopsis The Case for Centralized Federalism by : Gordon DiGiacomo

Book excerpt: The Case for Centralized Federalism and its sister volume The Case for Decentralized Federalism are the outcome of the Federalism Redux Project, created to stimulate a serious and useful conversation on federalism in Canada. They provide the vocabulary and arguments needed to articulate the case for a centralized or a decentralized Canadian federalism. In The Case for Centralized Federalism, an array of experts condemns the federal government’s submissiveness in its dealings with the provinces and calls for a renewed federal assertiveness. They argue that the federal government is best placed to create effective policy, support democracy and respond to issues of national importance.

Book Synopsis Unfulfilled Union, 5th Edition by : Garth Stevenson
Download or read book Unfulfilled Union, 5th Edition written by Garth Stevenson and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2009 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Unfulfilled Union Garth Stevenson examines such topics as the origins and objectives of Confederation And The BNA Act of 1867, The interpretation of Canada's federal constitution by the courts, The impact of economic regionalism and Quebec nationalism, financial relations between the federal and provincial levels of government, The consequences of federalism for economic policy, The sources of federal-provincial conflicts And The means to resolve them, And The lengthy but inconclusive efforts to reform the Canadian constitution through federal-provincial agreement - particularly since Quebec's Quiet Revolution in the 1960s. Although institutional factors such as the defects of the original constitution And The sometimes questionable interpretations of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council are given due attention, Stevenson emphasizes the political economy of Canada, including its relationship with the United States And The vitality of Quebec nationalism as the major reasons Canada has not achieved the same level of centralization and stability as other federations in the industrialized world. This updated edition of Unfulfilled Union includes a new chapter that discusses the extensive changes that have taken place in Canadian federalism since the previous edition was published in 2004.
