Government's narrative on progress

First ministers met in December 2018 to discuss ways to strengthen economic growth and create jobs for the middle class. Topics included diversifying Canada’s international trade, promoting clean growth, and strengthening trade between provinces and territories. First ministers released a joint communique that outlined consensus to create a framework for a clean electric future, to support energy sectors impacted by the oil price differential, to collaborate on the implementation of environmental assessment legislation, and to take specific measures to enhance internal trade.
