Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of Canada will visit Calgary on Wednesday morning to meet with Premier Danielle Smith for the first time in months. The meeting will be at 8:30 in the morning and will be shown on CTV News.
The provincial government and the federal government have had a difficult relationship lately. Smith has talked about many government rules.
The Alberta government said it will not join a national program for prescription drugs. The agreement would let all Canadians with a health card get diabetes medicine and birth control for free.
The province says it won’t allow Ottawa to select which coverage is available to people in Alberta.
Smith is worried about the new goals for reducing pollution and the carbon tax set by the government.
She said Alberta’s power grid would not work if it tried to meet the goals and she thinks the emission cuts are not allowed by the constitution.
Smith has been leading a plan to remove the province from the Canada Pension Plan, which some people disagree with.
Prime Minister Trudeau will talk about dental care and meet with older people in Calgary before he leaves.
