British Columbia, Saskatchewan and Alberta launched the New West Partnership today, creating what they call “an economic powerhouse of 9 million people with a combined GDP of more than $550 billion”.
“This represents an historic step forward for western provinces, as they work together to provide economic leadership,” said Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall. “We are combining the strength of our three vibrant economies and working together to create lasting prosperity. Our three provinces have created a model that cements the West as the economic powerhouse of Canada.”
The New West Partnership aims to create Canada’s largest interprovincial barrier-free trade and investment market, and see the three westernmost provinces work together to the benefit of workers, businesses and investors in all three provinces.
