N.B. Premier Susan Holt to meet with Mark Carney and his ministers this week
Holt will press Carney for support on health care, energy infrastructure and critical minerals as she meets with ministers and business leaders.
On Monday, April 20, 2026, New Brunswick Premier Susan Holt arrived in Ottawa to discuss economic, defence, and major projects with Prime Minister Mark Carney and his ministers.
Prime Minister Mark Carney previously met with Holt in Fredericton on Nov. 10, 2025, establishing a precedent for their ongoing federal-provincial dialogue regarding national priorities.
During her visit, Holt will meet with the ministers of justice, defence, and health, and MP Dominic LeBlanc, while attending a Canadian Chamber of Commerce summit.
The premier intends to press for federal partnerships on critical mineral development, energy infrastructure, and health-care funding, building on Ottawa's designation of the Sisson Mine at Sisson Brook, N.B., as a 'nation-building' project.
Holt stated, "Our focus is on making sure New Brunswick is at the centre of the major projects and defence investments that will shape our country's future," positioning the province as essential to national priorities.
