Premier Sandy Silver met virtually with provincial and territorial colleagues at the Western Premiers’ Conference in Regina to discuss priorities of the seven western provinces and territories.
Premier Silver led discussions on Arctic sovereignty, and the importance of strong, resilient Northern communities in supporting a prosperous federation. He also raised the Yukon’s priorities on health care, economic recovery, labour markets, energy security, sustainable development, supply chains and infrastructure.
The Western Premiers’ Conference is an important opportunity to discuss shared priorities and address issues that are vital to the prosperity of Western Canada. By working together we can advance common initiatives that will benefit our citizens and all Canadians. I look forward to continuing these valuable conversations at the upcoming Council of the Federation meeting this summer.
