A new agreement will open up more opportunities for moving products from Manitoba and Saskatchewan to the world.
This week, Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe, Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew and the Arctic Gateway Group (AGG) signed a Memorandum of Understanding that will create a northern trade corridor through the Port of Churchill.
Moe says Saskatchewan remains committed to strengthening trade across Canada by supporting and developing new transportation corridors
"Streamlining access to ports, such as Churchill will allow our goods better access to new and emerging international markets."
Kinew says Churchill presents huge opportunities when it comes to mining, agriculture and energy.
Arctic Gateway Group CEO Chris Avery says Manitoba and Saskatchewan understand the strategic value of the Port of Churchill and Hudson Bay Railway.
"This joint commitment from Premiers Kinew and Moe is a clear signal that Canada's Arctic Trade Corridor will play a major role in this country's trade and transportation future.
Part of the MOU will see the provinces working together to secure federal infrastructure funding and regulatory support to improve connectivity, streamlining trade and efficiency in getting goods to market.
