Western Premiers' Joint Communique

The Western Premiers' meeting concluded with a communique clearly supporting Grays Bay and the Arctic Security Corridor. This joint statement was issued by BC Premier David Eby, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe, Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew, Nunavut Premier PJ Akeeagok, NWT Premier R.J. Simpson, and Yukon Premier Ranj Pillai.

"Premiers call for the Prime Minister’s full support for the development of an economic corridor connecting ports on the northwest coast and Hudson’s Bay, ultimately reaching the committed project at Grays Bay. This will build economic security and prosperity for all Canadians."

"Western Premiers were pleased to hear the Prime Minister’s commitment to the Arctic Security Corridor. A secure Arctic reinforces Canada’s sovereignty. Investment in the North promotes access to its vast natural resources, benefits local economic interests, and supports thriving Northern communities. Strengthening infrastructure and military presence not only enhances national defence but also improves connectivity across Western Canada, fostering economic development and transportation and energy corridors, lowering costs, and raising the standard of living."
