Newfoundland and Labrador is New Brunswick’s fourth largest trading partner when considering two-way trade. Furey says there are trade barriers that can be eliminated especially when it comes to labour mobility more broadly. This was NB Premier Susan Holt’s first visit to NL. She says this MOU will break down interprovincial trade barriers. The Provincial Government has also earmarked $200 million in a contingency fund to support those negatively affected by U.S. tariffs, made changes to Credit Union Regulations, and launched the Seafood Marketing Support Program.
