The Alberta government says it wants to fill a research gap in U.S.-Canada relations to better understand the evolving North American dynamic and help the province address the impact of U.S. policy shifts.
The new research program, called the New North America Initiative, would bring together the “brightest minds” from academia, government, and the private sector from across the continent to analyze developments in U.S.-Canada relations and create policy proposals to enhance collaboration between the two countries, Premier Danielle Smith said in a May 16 press conference.
