Canada’s federal government and provincial premiers are meeting in Ottawa today to discuss measures aimed at strengthening national unity, removing internal trade barriers, and accelerating major economic projects.
In a statement ahead of the meeting, the prime minister said Canada is “stronger, more prosperous, and more secure when we are united,” stressing the need for closer cooperation between federal and provincial governments.
The talks are expected to focus on reducing regulatory and logistical barriers that hinder trade between provinces, fast-tracking large infrastructure and energy projects, and building a more sustainable and self-reliant Canadian economy.
Officials say the meeting comes amid growing economic and geopolitical pressures, prompting renewed emphasis on domestic supply chains, investment coordination, and long-term national competitiveness.
Further details from the discussions are expected later today.
