Prime minister-designate Justin Trudeau met today with Kathleen Wynne, Ontario's Liberal premier, in Toronto in his first official meeting outside Ottawa since the federal Liberal Party's victory in last week's general election.

Trudeau, however, did not answer any media questions, saying he'd have plenty to say next week after he names his cabinet.

The two met for about 30 minutes before heading to the funeral of noted Canadian diplomat Ken Taylor.

All Trudeau would say to reporters outside is that it was a "good meeting" and that he's looking forward to working with Wynne.

Later, in a joint statement issued Tuesday afternoon, Wynne and Trudeau said they discussed how the two levels of government "can work together on issues important to Canadians and Ontarians," including jobs and economic growth.

In particular, the two discussed infrastructure investment and improving retirement security for Canadians, according to the statement. Ontario is hoping for federal help with its signature $130-billion, 10-year plan for public transit and infrastructure projects. Wynne's government is also seeking help to enhance the Canada Pension Plan so Ontario won't have to implement its own provincial pension.

The two also discussed climate change, and the incoming government's pledge to call a national inquiry into missing and murdered aboriginal women and girls.

"In addition to working together on these and other issues, we look forward to a new and positive relationship between the new Government of Canada and the Government of Ontario — one based on mutual respect, common goals and shared values, and one that is committed to making progress on the things that are important to the people we serve," the two leaders said.

The meeting came a little more than a week after the end of the federal election campaign, during which Wynne made numerous appearances with Trudeau Liberals.

The premier praised Trudeau as being, "good for Ontario and good for Canada," the morning after the Liberal Party defeated the Conservatives and won a majority government.

After Wynne appeared several times with Trudeau, and lent much of the Ontario Liberal campaign organization to the federal party, Trudeau swept Toronto and much of the GTA, winning 80 of Ontario's 121 federal seats. Trudeau's "red wave" also swept over downtown Toronto, with Liberals winning all 25 ridings.

The premier had a frosty relationship with outgoing Prime Minister Stephen Harper, urging voters to turf the Conservative government early on in the election campaign.

Expectations are high that the leaders of Canada's two largest governments will see eye to eye on a host of federal-provincial issues, including:

  • Climate change.
  • Assisted suicide.
  • Prostitution.
  • Legalization of marijuana (Wynne has said it's time for a national conversation about pot).

Won't place demands on Trudeau


Wynne told The Canadian Press last week that the new federal-provincial relationship would not include a "ticking of boxes," and insisted she would not present the incoming prime minister with a list of Ontario demands in exchange for having helped deliver his new majority government.

However, she did say that ensuring people who don't already have a workplace pension get a more adequate retirement income from the CPP would be the topic of her first conversation with Trudeau.

During the election campaign, Harper boasted that he "delighted" in blocking any federal government help to create or administer the new Ontario Retirement Pension Plan, dismissing it as a "job-killing payroll tax."

Wynne cautioned that Trudeau alone can't agree to increase contributions and benefits under the CPP and needs the consent of other provinces. She said her government will continue planning to start payroll deductions for the ORPP on Jan. 1, 2017.

@GJ

Corps. have quite likely taken over paying the skeleton crew. No more taxpayer money to help out now that Harper is gone. (We save $265 million - good start.)

With TPP coming up, it would be well worth the dollars spent for corps. to have pro Con types litter the boards.

Not all though, we have (disgruntled) regulars here too.

  • So?
@EvenKeel

How about a news story about Harper. The Neocon's are in severe withdrawal. What is Harper doing these days. Have any reporters tried to interview him? Or has he holed up somewhere.

Wynne's completely fiscally inept government has piled up insurmountable debt, credit ratings have been downgraded, a billion a month in interest payments and having to borrow just to cover general operating costs. - Now that Justin is in she has wrangled access to the Federal tax base as well.... this won't be pretty.

Great post - thank you. Can you imagine the feds and the provinces actually cooperating? OMG!! Much better they hold each other in contempt. AND FOR GAWD'S SAKE... cut out the communications and civil discourse. Much better to role back to the contempt and sniping of the harpo regime. Cooperation and Respect... this won't be pretty.

Despite what deluded Liberals believe, Pierre Elliot Trudeau was the absolute worst PM!

He literally ran away from office when polls were telling him how much he was hated. Didn't have the guts to stay the full term (another two months), but ran dumping the whole PET mess into John Turner's lap, who ended up going down to the biggest defeat in Canada's political history.

He was arrogant, vain, autocratic, dictatorial and the absolute worst PM in regards to economics.

During his time in office... » more

  • proportional over partisan: where's Tom?
@Incendiary - don't be shy, how to you really feel? I noticed that you conveniently left out all of the infrastructure investments, including the original R&D for the oil sands, the Charter, raising our international profile, and the global energy crisis of the 70s.

"Pierre Trudeau hated Western Canada" ... no, no he did not. None of us Canadians "hate" western Canada, it simply serve the con hate machine to have the west think so, to think that they alone "protect" them from the rest of Canada.
