WHISTLER, B.C. — Western provinces and territories will consider working together on co-ordinating the planning and permitting of new infrastructure projects such as pipelines and telecommunications links in a move to gain efficiency.
British Columbia Premier David Eby says today’s western premiers’ conference centres on several key topics, including the need for more cohesive land planning to accommodate infrastructure networks that bisect provinces.
He says western premiers agree that there is room for improvement for the federal government’s work with the provinces and territories on supporting such initiatives, which would benefit both the movement of people and goods that are essential to the Canadian economy. He says the premiers are also exploring topics such as the rising cost of living, an issue shared by all jurisdictions, although each province is looking at different programs to bring down costs.
