HALIFAX — A number of business sectors in Nova Scotia are welcoming Premier Tim Houston’s national call to reduce interprovincial trade barriers, as a new poll suggests broad public support for the idea across Atlantic Canada.

Houston announced Thursday during an appearance with fellow Progressive Conservative Leader Doug Ford in Milton, Ont., that a yet to be tabled bill would allow Canadian goods and services to be sold in Nova Scotia without the need for further testing or red tape.
