Mark Warner over at Maaw Law has given a very good and reasoned interview earlier today on the competition and trade aspects of the Canadian federal government’s proposal to take steps to equalize prices between the U.S. and Canada for Canadian consumers. I thought this interview set out quite well the various competing issues in this new federal initiative (though I myself remain a bit skeptical regarding the workability of the proposal, and remained concerned about potential deterrence to foreign investment in Canada and whether this is in essence price regulation). For this quite good interview see: Canadian Budget 2014: What’s In It For Consumers.
