Manitoba’s role in Canada’s economic agenda, according to Mélanie Joly

Last week, Mélanie Joly, the federal industry minister, made a trip to Winnipeg after the prime minister announced Canada’s next defence industrial strategy. The $6.6 billion plan sets several targets for the country to achieve over the next decade, including buying and maintaining most of the military's equipment here in Canada. While she was here, Joly spoke about opportunities the new defence industrial strategy holds for the province to shift its economic fortunes and stand at the forefront of Canadian trade talks. Today we unpack her vision for Manitoba’s role in national industry, and Premier Wab Kinew provides an update on how the relationship with Ottawa is developing.
