Premiers meet in Yukon to talk trade, carbon pricing

Canada's provincial and territorial leaders are in Yukon forthree days of talks on a wide range of issues including the federal government's intention to impose a national price on carbonand interprovincial trade barriers.

But the discussions might be coloured by a recent squabble between Alberta Premier Rachel Notley and Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall over the price of beer. Notleywill hike beer prices, a move Wall says will hurt his province's producers and has threatened retaliation.

Yukon Premier Darrell Pasloskiwill also pitch atrade mission of all premiers to the United Kingdom early next year to hammer out a free trade deal with the country still reeling from the Brexit vote.

The premiers met withIndigenous leaders Wednesday wheretheterms of reference for anational inquiry into missing and murdered Indigenous women were scrutinized. The leadersare largely supportive, if not slightly cautious, of the federal government's roadmap for an inquiry.
