In Fredericton Monday, the Prime Minister announced a list of major nation-building projects would be revealed Thursday, and Premier Susan Holt says one of those projects is coming to New Brunswick.

However, she would not give any more details ahead of time.

Holt and Carney sat down for a focused and productive meeting earlier Monday, she told reporters.

She says they covered a lot of topics, including defense, mining, energy, and more.

“We talked quite a bit about energy and how important energy is to growing our economy here in New Brunswick and beyond, and the various opportunities that present themselves in the energy space,” said Holt.

She added that the conversation touched on nuclear energy, exploring for critical minerals and developing renewable energy, including the large wind projects the province has put forward.

Earlier, in the day, the Prime Minister visited the Maple Leaf Homes building company, where he reiterated the federal “Buy Canadian” policy.

It includes $186 million dollars to purchase building materials in our own country.

Carney says it will put more of tax dollars back into our economy.

“[It] will put more of every public dollar back into our economy, creating good Canadian jobs, Canadian careers, using Canadian resources and benefiting Canadian communities. It’ll make a big difference for workers here in New Brunswick,” the Prime Minister said.

The Buy Canadian policy was previously announced in September.
