U.S. Vice-President Joe Biden will be in Ottawa for a two-day visit during a busy week of high-profile meetings featuring Prime Minister Justine Trudeau, Canada’s premiers and aboriginal leaders.
The White House released a statement Tuesday saying the outgoing vice-president would be in Ottawa Dec. 8-9 to meet with Trudeau, and with the premiers, to discuss Canada-U.S. relations and several international issues.
The White House statement said Biden will participate in bilateral meetings with Trudeau “to discuss the strong partnership between the United States and Canada” and will speak with the first ministers on “a range of bilateral and global issues.”
That announcement came just after the prime minister confirmed plans to meet with his provincial and territorial counterparts and with First Nations, Inuit and Métis leaders.
In a statement, the Liberal government touted its efforts to work with the provinces and territories on a “pan-Canadian” framework for clean growth and climate change.
The statement said the ministers will work to finalize that framework during the meeting, and confirm the steps necessary to implement it.
It doesn’t mention health care funding, which the premiers have made clear they intend to put on the meeting agenda, whether Trudeau wants it there or not.
The provinces and territories are pushing back against federal plans to halve the amount by which federal health transfer payments increase each year.
The statement says Trudeau’s meeting with the leaders from the Assembly of First Nations, Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami and the Métis National Council will “discuss the framework and indigenous perspectives” in advance of the first ministers’ meeting.
