We'll find out this week how serious we as a country are at breaking down internal trade barriers.
It's estimated that breaking down barriers that make it harder for goods and services to be sold from one province to another can lead to $200B or 7.9% of GDP growth.

How did the Budget score on Transportation, Infrastructure & Trade
We're encouraged to see the budget recognize that there needs to be more telecom competition in Canada. However, our memo calls for more drastic measures to truly break up the entrenched oligopoly.

How the Budget scores on Defence
Major investments to defence which will allow Canada to finally meet its NATO target. There's also recognition that we have a procurement problem and it takes far too long to get equipment and technology.
