Manitoba is one step closer to joining the New West Partnership.
The Pallister government announced Wednesday the premiers of Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan have agreed to start negotiations which would let Manitoba join the trade partnership.
This has been a longstanding campaign pledge for Premier Brian Pallister, who made it one his most often cited campaign goals.
When asked after Question Period about the news, Pallister told media the premiers of these provinces have all spoken favourably of Manitoba joining the team,
“I remind Manitobans they have a lot of benefit from the partnership,” said Pallister.
The New West Partnership was started in 2010 as an agreement by the three most western provinces to better integrate the economies of the province through trade and innovation.
