Premier John Horgan will make a trip to meet Prime Minister Justin Trudeau this week.

The two are expected to discuss the wildfire state of emergency, softwood lumber, and the opioid crisis.

Horgan will also travel to Washington, D.C., for discussions regarding B.C. jobs in the softwood lumber dispute.

“Tomorrow I will be meeting with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in Ottawa to talk about how we can work together to support people and communities affected by B.C.’s wildfires, fight for B.C. jobs in the softwood lumber dispute, and better support those affected by the opioid crisis,” said Premier Horgan.

“Working with our federal counterparts, we’ll find solutions to the urgent problems facing British Columbians. And we will make sure that the services people count on like childcare, affordable housing, and public infrastructure are also a priority in these discussions.”

Schedule:

Premier Horgan will meet with Prime Minister Trudeau at 10:00 am Tuesday, July 25. He’ll then meet with other senior public officials before travelling to Washington, D.C.
