Canada Premiers Pitch Carney on New Pipelines, Ports and Mines

Bloomberg · last updated

Canada’s provincial leaders urged Prime Minister Mark Carney to back new oil pipelines, electricity grids, critical mineral mines, ports and railways at a meeting on Monday meant to identify “nation-building” projects to be fast-tracked.

The meeting is a first step toward Carney fulfilling his campaign promise to reduce Canada’s overwhelming reliance on the US as an export market by boosting the domestic economy and finding new trade partners.
