        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"6636099\" data-originallang=\"en\">Absolutely. I would agree with those remarks about the potential economic benefit of removing interprovincial trade barriers. There are many people who have said this.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6636100\" data-originallang=\"en\"> The International Monetary Fund has also looked at this and estimated that it can add about 4% of real GDP per capita to Canada's economy. It's going to be incredibly important for when we have difficult fiscal situations going forward. These kinds of policies, focusing on reducing regulatory burdens and interprovincial trade barriers, are low-cost or no-cost ways to get to economic recovery.</p>",

Je suis d'accord avec ces remarques au sujet des avantages \u00e9conomiques qui pourraient d\u00e9couler de l'\u00e9limination des obstacles au commerce interprovincial. Beaucoup l'ont affirm\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6636100\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Le Fonds mon\u00e9taire international s'est \u00e9galement pench\u00e9 sur la question et a estim\u00e9 qu'une telle mesure pourrait ajouter quelque 4 % de PIB r\u00e9el par habitant \u00e0 l'\u00e9conomie canadienne. Ce serait particuli\u00e8rement important en p\u00e9riode de difficult\u00e9s financi\u00e8res. Des politiques de ce genre, ax\u00e9es sur la r\u00e9duction des fardeaux r\u00e9glementaires et des obstacles au commerce interprovincial, sont des fa\u00e7ons peu co\u00fbteuses ou gratuites de relancer l'\u00e9conomie.</p>"
