FREDERICTON — New Brunswick Premier Susan Holt will meet with Prime Minister Mark Carney next week during a two-day visit to Ontario.
Her office says Holt will push for federal partnerships on defence investments, energy infrastructure, critical minerals development and for long-term predictable funding for health care.
Holt will also meet with Internal Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc, National Defence Minister David McGuinty and other Liberal cabinet ministers.
She says her focus is making sure New Brunswick is at the centre of Canada’s plans for economic growth.
Officials say Holt will also join other premiers at a Canadian Chamber of Commerce conference during her trip.
