N.B. Premier Susan Holt to meet with Mark Carney and his ministers this week

OTTAWA — New Brunswick Premier Susan Holt will be in Ottawa today to discuss the economy, defence and major projects with Prime Minister Mark Carney and his ministers.

Holt says she also plans to press for federal partnership on health-care funding, energy infrastructure and critical mineral development.

Last year, the federal major projects office selected a proposed tungsten mine in Sisson Brook, N.B., as a development it could help fast-track as a benefit to the national economy.

While in Ottawa, Holt is planning to meet with New Brunswick MP Dominic LeBlanc, the minister responsible for Canada-U.S. trade.
