Canada’s premiers have called upon Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to hold a First Ministers Meeting on a national infrastructure program that will cover everything from the need for more housing to making the country’s economy more competitive.

The call was made during the closing news conference on July 12 following the three-day national meeting of premiers in Winnipeg. Discussion included the cost-of-living crisis facing many across the country.
