Alberta Premier Smith to meet with Trudeau today for first time since summer

Mar 13, 2024 | 8:23 AM

CALGARY, AB – Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will meet up face-to-face in Calgary on Wednesday, March 13, 2024.

Smith’s office says the two will meet in the morning, and Smith will head to Edmonton to speak to reporters at a subsequent news conference.

The two leaders have not met in person since last summer at the Calgary Stampede festival.

Smith’s office did not say what is on the agenda for the meeting.

However, her government has taken issue with Ottawa on a range of issues, including energy development, pharmacare, child-care funding and the federal consumer carbon price.
