The Canadian Press » “This is a time when the U.S. is trying to divide us, and so Canada is coming together like never before,” New Brunswick Premier Susan Holt told reporters. “If it’s good enough for Newfoundland, it’s good enough for New Brunswick, and you’re not going to have to get re-inspected or re-labeled or repackaged in order for goods to move between our provinces.”
Andrew Furey, Newfoundland and Labrador’s premier, said that Thursday’s agreement will allow officials in both provinces to start discussing changes “where they make sense.” Rules requiring Newfoundland and Labrador seafood processing plants to buy certain amounts of locally caught fish, for example, are not up for discussion, he said.
