The Committee on Internal Trade took a major step forward in 2025 by signing the Canadian Mutual Recognition Agreement on the Sale of Goods, leveraging mutual recognition to reduce barriers to the sale of goods across Canada. In March of this year, the Committee on Internal Trade committed to expand the mutual recognition agreement to services by the end of 2026. As part of the commitment, businesses and industry will be engaged to inform this agreement.
An online survey was launched on June 3, 2026 and will close June 17, 2026. This is an opportunity to share your specific experiences about what works well and what doesn’t when selling, or attempting to sell, services across a provincial or territorial boundary. The more specific the experiences you share are, the more progress we can make.
