Premier Rachel Notley said she had a chance to congratulate the prime minister designate and hopes the two can work together on a number of issues.
Notley said while she and Justin Trudeau didn’t speak specifics, she’s hoping the incoming PM sees eye to eye on building pipelines.
“There’s some common cause there. Mr. Trudeau has talked about the need to diversify our markets and of course, I’ve spoken about the need to diversify our markets,” Notley told reporters Tuesday afternoon, “I know our energy minister is looking forward to the opportunity to work with the new federal energy minister on that file, because as I’ve said before, not only does that benefit Albertans, but it benefits all Canadians.”
Notley said there are four issues that she hopes to work with Trudeau on.
“We need to build important infrastructure, we need to strengthen our health care system, we need to take meaningful action on climate change, and we need to develop and renew a respectful relationship with indigenous peoples of this country.”
