The First Ministers meeting was held over the weekend in Montreal between the Premiers of Canada and the federal government.
Two of the main topics that were discussed were the federal carbon tax, and Alberta oil. Despite those topics dominating discussions, Brian Pallister said he made some progress on his push to eliminate interprovincial trade barriers.
Pallister also said that Ottawa could possibly support a transmission line to send more hydro power to Saskatchewan. He also said the Trudeau government was excited about the idea of a "hydro pipeline" from at least Quebec to Saskatchewan.
Overall, Pallister said the discussions were productive, which is in stark contrast to most other Premiers who felt little to no progress had been made on any issues.
