OTTAWA—Prime Minister Justin Trudeau quickly backed up his pledge for more dialogue with the West, opening up his Thursday meeting with Calgary’s mayor to the two members of his government now entrusted with being ambassadors to the region.
Manitoba MP Jim Carr, who was named Wednesday as Trudeau’s special representative for the Prairies, and Chrystia Freeland, now deputy prime minister and minister of intergovernmental affairs, both sat in on the latest of Trudeau’s meetings with provincial and municipal officials from Western Canada in the wake of last month’s election.
