  • Alberta, NWT Pledge Closer Ties on Transportation, Energy and Natural Resources
    Creating Opportunity February 13, 2009 Alberta, NWT pledge closer ties on transportation, energy and natural resources Yellowknife... Discussions on the present economic situation, its effects, and issues related to transportation, energy and natural resources were on the agenda for Alberta Minister of Finance and Enterprise Iris Evans and Northwest Territories Minister of Finance J. Michael Miltenberger, at a meeting in Yellowknife February 13. The Ministers met in their capacity as Co-Chairs of the Alberta - Northwest Territories Memorandum of Understanding for Co-operation and Development. They were joined by Northwest Territories Premier Floyd Roland, Northwest Territories Minister of Industry, Tourism and Investment Bob McLeod and Alberta MLA Robin Campbell, chair of the Northern Alberta Development Council. “The goal of our discussions was to identify areas where we benefit from working together with our close neighbours and friends in Alberta,” Miltenberger said. The Co-Chairs received a Memorandum of Understanding being developed to facilitate the co-operation of their two governments in the protection and recovery of shared populations of boreal woodland Caribou. The Co-Chairs also discussed mutual transportation issues with a view to improving trade flows between the two jurisdictions, and were pleased to confirm that their governments are developing an agreement to further co-operate in the management and suppression of wildfires along the Northwest Territories/Alberta border. “This ongoing co-operation between our jurisdictions builds a solid foundation to move forward on issues that are important to the residents of the Northwest Territories and Alberta” said Miltenberger. “Considering our similar geology and geography, and the natural resource development capabilities in Alberta and the Northwest Territories, it makes sense that we work together to take action and develop the North in a way that is mutually beneficial,” Evans said.
