Ontario Finance Minister Peter Bethlenfalvy announced Wednesday that Ontario is joining Canada’s national security regulatory passport program, aimed at cutting red tape for businesses across the country. “Ontario’s expectations are that at the same time the details of the passport are being negotiated, other provinces will agree to continue eliminating all provincial barriers to unleash an estimated additional boost to Canada’s economy of up to $200 million to GDP per annum,” he said. The program streamlines regulatory processes, making it easier for businesses to access capital and operate across provincial borders.
