Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba have signed a memorandum of understanding that aims to foster the development of trade corridors between the provinces in order to bolster economic growth and unite them in advocating for their mutual interests with the federal government.

The Saskatchewan government announced on April 11 that the provinces will focus on four aspects of collaboration: improving the efficiency of inter-provincial highway and rail networks, seeking federal infrastructure funding and national supply chain solutions, keeping their economies competitive and growing capital investment, and harmonizing regulations to support businesses, industries, and shippers.
