Ontario Premier Doug Ford and Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew held a news conference in Toronto to sign a trade agreement that scraps a number of barriers, such as direct wine, beer and spirit sales to consumers in the other province and acceptance of professional licences and standards, such as engineers working on construction projects.
But there was no mention of bans on trading supply-management quotas for farmers and for dairy and chicken processing companies.
They said they hope all other provinces follow suit.
