John Horgan And Justin Trudeau Discuss Opioids And Wildfires

The Canadian Press, 25 Jul, 2017 11:52 AM
    Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Premier John Horgan met in Ottawa on Tuesday and focused on areas where they agree.
     
     
    Trudeau said afterwards that he plans to visit B.C. next week to assess the damage left by wildfires and that the federal government stands ready to do everything it can to help people who were forced from their homes.
     
     
    The two leaders also discussed the opioid crisis, the softwood lumber dispute with the U.S. and affordable housing.
     
     
    For now, they avoided discussion of the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion that Ottawa has approved and Horgan has vowed to fight using every legal tool available.
