Trudeau to meet with Kenney, Nenshi in Calgary

  • Trudeau to meet with Kenney, Nenshi in Calgary

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is to meet today with Premier Jason Kenney and Mayor Naheed Nenshi in Calgary.

A spokeswoman for the premier's office says Kenney wants to discuss pipelines and reopening of international borders, which have been closed due to COVID-19.

Jerrica Goodwin says the premier plans to bring up a fair deal for Alberta in the federation.

She says he will also reiterate why he thinks it's important to wait to fill any Senate vacancies until after Alberta's October nominee elections.

Trudeau's first stop in Calgary this morning was at a business that received federal COVID-19 pandemic support.

He is to meet Kenney, then Nenshi, at a downtown hotel before visiting a transit maintenance facility with the mayor for an announcement this afternoon.

The stop in Alberta follows Tuesday's visit to the Cowessess First Nation in Saskatchewan.

The First Nation, east of Regina, has signed an agreement with Ottawa that will see jurisdiction over children returned to the community.

Cowessess is also the site of a former residential school where, last month, ground-penetrating radar detected a potential 751 unmarked graves.
