PMO Press Office: (613) 957-5555
Dear Premier:
I am writing to invite Premiers and Territorial Government Leaders
to a private meeting in Ottawa starting the afternoon of June
20 and closing the end of day on June 21. As set out in the Speech
from the Throne, this occasion will provide an opportunity to
focus particularly on economic and social issues of importance
to Canadians.
Consistent with my government's commitment to partnership, the
Honourable Stéphane Dion, Minister of Intergovernmental
Affairs, is in the process of consulting your government on how
best to shape the agenda of the upcoming First Ministers' Meeting.
After his tour is complete and he has reported to me, an agenda
proposal will be forwarded to you.
Together we face the shared challenges of responding to Canadians'
concerns about jobs, economic growth and the sustainability of
social programs. Effective partnerships among our governments
are instrumental in meeting these challenges, and in this spirit,
I look forward to meeting with you in June.
Yours sincerely,
|
