Prime Minister Justin Trudeau responded to a letter from premiers asking Ottawa to stop overreaching into their jurisdictions with federal programs by saying he'll “go around” the provinces if needed.
“I’m going to work where I can in partnership with provinces that want to, like B.C. and others have. And places where they want to block the kinds of investments that are going to help Canadians, I’m just going to try and figure out ways to help Canadians directly,” Mr. Trudeau said during a press conference in Victoria on April 19.
