Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was in Saskatoon Monday during a stop on what he describes as an "A to Z" tour of Canada's battery supply chain, but Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe says he wasn't invited.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau remained diplomatic when asked why he didn’t invite Scott Moe to his tour Vital Metals’ rare earth facility.
“We’ve had lots of great opportunities to make announcements with Premier Moe over the years,” said Trudeau. “At the same time we also know there’s work to be done on encouraging the Government of Saskatchewan to see the opportunities that companies and workers are seeing in cleaner jobs.”
Saskatoon Mayor Charlie Clark joined Trudeau on the tour, meeting workers at the facility which processes Candian-mined ore that can be used to make electric vehicle batteries and permanent magnets, but Saskatchewan’s Premier was conspicuously absent.
Moe took to Twitter to complain about his lack of an invite on Monday morning.
“It’s disappointing because this is an area that the provincial and federal governments see eye to eye on, yet we were not aware of the Prime Minister’s visit," Moe tweeted
Moe has recently cast himself in opposition to Trudeau’s government by touting the province's sovereignty over natural resources through the Saskatchewan First Act.
