OTTAWA, Nov. 20, 2018 /CNW/ - The Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, today announced that the upcoming First Ministers' Meeting (FMM) will take place in Montréal on December 7, 2018. The Prime Minister will be joined by Minister of Intergovernmental and Northern Affairs and Internal Trade Dominic LeBlanc.

At the FMM, First Ministers will discuss the new United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, and how to diversify international trade while improving trade within our own borders. The Prime Minister and Minister LeBlanc will lead a discussion with First Ministers to explore eliminating barriers to trade between provinces and territories, and work toward a stronger, more interconnected Canadian economy that creates good jobs and growth for the middle class.

First Ministers will also meet with leaders of the Assembly of First Nations, the Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami, and the Métis National Council to discuss how all governments can contribute to continued economic growth and prosperity for Indigenous peoples.
