Kinew added Churchill will help get Canadian energy to new markets in Europe and India, add investment in the town, and a port and rail line will help defend Arctic sovereignty and strengthen economic ties to Nunavut.  

The premier raised other infrastructure priorities with the prime minister and discussed federal funding for the new Victoria Hospital emergency room, a new Cancer Care headquarters and twinning the Trans-Canada Highway to the Ontario border. The premier also pushed for more support for producers, farmers and Manitoba’s agricultural industry, highlighting Manitoba’s investment in the GATE project in downtown Winnipeg and the Prairie Innovation Centre in Brandon.
