The prime minister is coming back to Nanaimo, and this time he’s bringing his whole cabinet with him.
PM Justin Trudeau announced today, Aug. 14, that he will hold a cabinet retreat in the Harbour City from Aug. 21-23.
According to a press release, the PM and ministers will be discussing economic growth and middle-class job creation.
“Discussions will focus on diversifying international trade, eliminating trade barriers between provinces and territories, and maintaining the integrity and security of Canada’s borders,” the press release reads.
No specific location was announced and a spokesman for the Prime Minister’s Office said that information isn’t yet finalized.
“I look forward to meeting with our new cabinet in beautiful Nanaimo, British Columbia,” Trudeau said in the press release. “Nanaimo is a gateway to Canada’s markets and a tourist destination known around the world. It is a perfect setting to discuss how we can promote Canadian exports, expand tourism, and diversify our trading partnerships, to continue making life better for people from Nanaimo to Corner Brook.”
