Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe are calling on Ottawa to make six changes to federal policies they say are necessary to “unleash” their provinces’ economies, arguing these changes will ultimately benefit Canadians and help make Canada the “strongest economy in the G7.”

The two premiers held a joint press conference on June 18, following a meeting between their government caucuses. They said they wanted to make a “unified call” for an end to “all federal interference” in the development of provincial resources.
