Premiers huddle with Carney in Saskatoon to decide what major projects to prioritize

On June 2, 2025, Prime Minister Mark Carney met in Saskatoon with provincial and territorial premiers to discuss prioritizing major nation-building projects.
The meeting followed Carney's campaign promise to reduce reliance on the U.S. Market and accelerate project approval times, though some pipeline details remain disputed.
Premiers presented extensive wish lists, including pipelines, mining projects like Ontario’s Ring of Fire, and transportation corridors, while disagreements persisted over a west coast bitumen pipeline.
Carney highlighted that the near future will be crucial, stressing the importance of establishing certainty and ambition to drive significant investment and position Canada as a leading energy powerhouse.
The discussions aim to foster national unity and fast-track approvals to offset U.S. Tariffs and enhance Canada’s economic growth prospects amid ongoing trade tensions.
