(Executive Council)
The following is being distributed at the request of the Conference of Atlantic Premiers:
Regional Economic Cooperation
Meeting in St. John's, Newfoundland today, the premiers reviewed progress on regional economic cooperation over the past five years. "We have accomplished a great deal," said Premier McKenna, "but there is more that we can do cooperatively to create a climate for business expansions and start-ups, and improve public services."
The premiers commissioned the Atlantic Provinces Economic Council to conduct a survey of regional business and organization leaders to get their views on previous cooperative projects and suggestions for where to focus their energies in the near future for regional cooperation. Premiers received the report today from APEC and are pleased with the results. "Based on comments we see in the report," said Premier Binns, "it is clear that the private sector endorses regional cooperation." Premiers expressed their appreciation to APEC for its presentation and are pleased to make the report available to interested parties.
