The Premiers, convening annually as the Council of the Federation since 2003, aim to enhance interprovincial and interterritorial cooperation while promoting relations between provincial and federal governments.
During the meeting, the leaders emphasized that provinces and territories are best positioned to address the specific needs of their labor markets and burgeoning economies. This proactive approach includes taking measures for international recruitment, streamlining credential recognition, and prioritizing skills training initiatives.
