Internal Trade in Canada
Balkanská, Lucie ; Jiránková, Martina (advisor) ; Sankot, Ondřej (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to evaluate the trade among Canadian provinces and territories. The thesis is divided into three chapters. The first one deals with general characteristics of the political system in Canada, individual Canadian economies and internal trade within Canada. The second chapter focuses on the barriers that prevent Canada from free trade with itself and also describes the free trade agreements that provinces concluded in order to liberalize interprovincial trade. The third chapter is more practical and it devotes to the trade between two provinces - Alberta and Ontario. Firstly, each province is described separately and then their mutual trade is assessed.

Provincial Involvement in Canadian Immigration Policy Making: The Case of Ontario
Georgievová, Olga ; Fiřtová, Magdalena (advisor) ; Kozák, Kryštof (referee)
Asymmetry and executive federalism are two unique features that dominate the Canadian political landscape. As a result, federal and provincial governments are in direct negotiations over many current public policy issues, immigration policy notwithstanding. In order to understand the current immigration debate and to evaluate the benefits of greater provincial involvement, it is first necessary to comprehend what motivates provinces to be active in immigration policy-making. Ontario presents an interesting example of a province that used to be quite content with leaving the federal government dominant in the immigration arena but that has recently changed its attitude completely: Ontario is now much more assertive in presenting its demands. Through a comprehensive literature review and a series of interviews of key immigration policy figures, this study analyzes the main motives of Ontario with respect to immigration policy. It finds that they were primarily of economic, demographic, and political nature and that they were mainly connected to the relative decline of Ontario's position within Canada.
