Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew says he proposed the building of a “northern trade corridor” during a May 7 call with the premiers and prime minister, which he said would help western provinces connect their resources to international markets through Hudson Bay.
“There’s been so much talk about getting resources in Western Canada to tidewater and Hudson Bay. I think now’s the time for us to go out into the market, the private sector, and see if that’s something real, if that’s something that the business community can make happen,” Kinew said in a May 7 interview with CBC News.
