Atlantic Provinces Economic Union

James Feehan

Canadian Public Policy, 1993, vol. 19, issue 2, 133-144

Abstract: Economic disparity between the Atlantic Provinces and the rest of Canada persists. The possibilities of reduced federal government transfers and Quebec separation further threaten the region. Maritime Union, a proposal that has a long history, has resurfaced in a modern form: economic union of the Atlantic provinces. This paper assesses the potential of further economic integration of the Atlantic provinces for alleviating disparity and insulating the region from the more recent threats. An economic union's beneficial impact would be close to negligible.
