Harrison says getting the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project, which would increase the flow of Alberta crude from Edmonton to Burnaby, B.C., is the shared priority between the two provinces.
Alberta Economic Development Minister Deron Bilous says the two provinces will continue working to reduce trade barriers and focus on the expansion of the pipeline.
