Essentially it’s saying that there exists an affect which if a good crosses a boarder it would need to be 6.9% lower in price to have the same level of sale as a good traveling the same distance within a province.
This suggests a non-efficient market which has the equivalent affect as a Tarrif. This may or may not be due to provincial barriers.
It’s much more complicated than just saying provincial trade barriers.
For example this affects on lumber is 32% per the table. Why is the big question. But it isn’t restrained trade for lumber.
If you look at O+G the affect is smaller than the margin of error.
