Yellowknife, Northwest Territories – November 19, 2025
Today marks a significant moment as federal, provincial, and territorial Ministers responsible for internal trade* announced an important agreement to advance trade across Canada.
The Canadian Mutual Recognition Agreement (CMRA) on the sale of goods, was signed today by most jurisdictions. Governments across Canada regulate the sale of many goods to uphold various standards. However, when regulatory requirements differ between provinces or territories, they can create costs and barriers to doing business. This important agreement represents a turning point as the country works together to address these challenges. The CMRA ensures that businesses can sell their goods across Canada without having to meet duplicative regulatory requirements, unless the good is specifically exempted from the agreement.

*Due to territorial elections, the government of Nunavut and the Yukon participated as observers.
