Prime Minister Mark Carney is hosting a meeting with Canada’s premiers on Friday.
The Prime Minister’s Office and the office of Ontario Premier Doug Ford confirmed details of the meeting.
Audrey Champoux, Carney’s lead press secretary, says the prime minister has been clear that top priorities for his government include defending Canadians in the face of unjustified trade actions by the U.S., supporting workers and strengthening the economy.
“He committed during his leadership campaign that he would work with the premiers to do so and would convene a first ministers meeting at the earliest opportunity, which has now been scheduled for this coming Friday,” Champoux said in a statement.
“This meeting will be a chance for all premiers and Prime Minister Carney to discuss the work ahead, including how they will work collaboratively to create one Canadian economy, instead of 13.”
The meeting comes as Carney is widely expected to call an election within just days or weeks.
