The MHCA applauds the announced support by Manitoba and Nunavut for a proposal to establish a strategic economic and energy corridor between the province and territory.
“Stronger ties, backed by infrastructure, between Manitoba and Nunavut is a necessary step towards building internal trade, diversifying markets for domestic goods and services and supporting prosperity for all Canadians,” MHCA President & CEO Chris Lorenc said.
