Trudeau was on a trip to Alberta on Wednesday, stopping in Calgary to announce details of a dental care investment and then speaking with seniors in the city.
It was the first time the pair been together since last summer's Calgary Stampede.
"I'm looking forward to meeting with the prime minister today," Smith said. "We have so much to talk about."
She also spoke highly of Trudeau's involvement in the Trans Mountain pipeline, which is "nearly to the finish line."
"It's going to be a major boost not only for Alberta but also for the entire country."
While they haven't been in the same room for a while, Smith said they've been working together on a number of other initiatives, particularly those aimed at reducing emissions.
