legislature, enacted_by.The One Canadian Economy Act (French: Loi sur l’unité de l’économie canadienne), introduced as Bill C-5, was enacted by the Parliament of Canada with the objective of reducing interprovincial trade barriers and expediting the construction of major infrastructure projects. The legislation was introduced by the government of Mark Carney, and was a response to the 2025 trade war with the United States.
The bill contains two distinct Acts, based on two different pledges made by Carney in his campaign for the 2025 federal election. Part 1 enacts the Free Trade and Labour Mobility in Canada Act, acting on a commitment to eliminate all federal barriers to interprovincial trade by Canada Day. Part 2 enacts the Building Canada Act, upholding Carney's pledge to facilitate the construction of nation-building infrastructure megaprojects. The bill was unveiled by the Carney government as one of its first initiatives following the election, and passed on an expedited timeframe with the support of the Conservative Party.
