Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney held a virtual meeting with provincial and territorial premiers to discuss Canada’s relationship with the United States and the nation’s broader economic agenda, according to an official statement. Carney briefed the premiers on his recent discussions with US President Donald Trump, underscoring Canada’s commitment to establishing a new partnership with Washington “based on respect, built on common interests, and to the benefit of both nations.”

The meeting also focused on accelerating approvals for national infrastructure projects. Carney and the premiers agreed to adopt a “one project, one review” model to streamline the process and speed up development. Additionally, they expressed strong support for initiatives aimed at unifying the Canadian economy by eliminating internal trade barriers.

Carney announced plans to introduce related legislation by Canada Day to solidify these economic goals. He confirmed that he will reconvene with the premiers in Saskatoon on June 2 to review progress and discuss next steps. The meeting reflects a coordinated effort to boost economic growth and strengthen Canada’s partnership with the United States.
