Ottawa has reached a deal with the majority of provinces to allow Canadian booze to flow more freely across the country just as U.S. liquor is pulled from their store shelves.

The move is part of a host of changes being worked on by the federal, provincial and territorial governments that were announced late Wednesday to add $200 billion to the Canadian economy while it’s rocked by U.S. tariffs.

“This is unprecedented action to reduce trade barriers in Canada,” Internal Trade Minister Anita Anand told CBC News.

“This is a pivotal moment for Canada to take bold and united action in the face of the United States’ unjustified decision to impose 25 per cent tariffs on Canadian goods.”

All provinces, except P.E.I. and Newfoundland and Labrador, have agreed to remove the obstacles preventing their alcohol from being sold in other jurisdictions.
