Northern trade corridor top of mind as Manitoba premier plans meeting with PM
2 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 6:27 PM CDTWINNIPEG - Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew is planning to go to Ottawa next week for a meeting with Prime Minister Mark Carney.
Kinew says it's part of a plan the two men have to meet roughly every three months, primarily to discuss the possibility of a northern trade corridor through the Port of Churchill on Hudson Bay.
The project recently made a list of projects being considered as “transformative” by the federal government.
Studies are underway to gauge private-sector interest and examine the use of icebreakers to extend the port's short shipping season.
