The leaders of Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Saskatchewan, and Yukon gather annually for the Western Premiers’ Conference.
BC Premier David Eby identified trade-related infrastructure as a primary agenda item before the conference. On Friday, Eby emphasized that the duration required to move goods between provinces and territories affects costs for Canadians.
