" No, we're not oblivious," said Manitoba Premier Greg Selinger. " It has an impact on every province. It has a short- term benefit in terms of greater purchasing power in the local economy, but it also changes the terms of trade and, over time, makes imports more expensive." Selinger, speaking to the Free Press at the conclusion of a premiers' meeting in Ottawa Friday, said the premiers agree the economy is a priority for all governments. They want Prime Minister Stephen Harper to pony up more cash, particularly for infrastructure, to keep the economy going. Federal Finance Minister Joe Oliver dismissed that call Friday, saying Ottawa has already pledged $ 75 billion for infrastructure over the next decade, and it is " precisely the wrong time to launch a massive deficit program" that would undermine economic confidence, add to the debt load and burden future generations. " However, the opposition and some premiers appear oblivious to the consequences of the current global instability and the dramatic decline in the price of oil," Oliver said in a statement. Last fall, the premiers of the three westernmost provinces asked Ottawa to send between $ 1 billion and $ 1.5 billion in new money for projects to help get oil and other natural resources over to the burgeoning markets in Asia. Wynne has called for Ottawa to invest the equivalent of five per cent of the gross domestic product into infrastructure. She said it's sad Oliver rejected new investments in infrastructure. " The oblivion is not on the part of the premiers," she said during the meeting's closing news conference Friday. Selinger would not get behind any specific infrastructure demands, saying only " We'd like Ottawa to be there more fully." Several premiers expressed frustration Harper skipped Friday's meeting. He hasn't met with the premiers as a group since 2009. Selinger said Harper's absence was " noticeable but not surprising." P. E. I. Premier Robert Ghiz, feisty as he prepares to step down as premier next month, was more pointed, suggesting if Ottawa doesn't start listening to the premiers, the Conservatives' days may be numbered. " What will the other parties say in their platforms on the subject of infrastructure?" Ghiz asked. B. C. Premier Christy Clark called on all governments not to wallow in disappointment at the impact of lower oil prices and try to find ways to make it work for now. " All of us agree Canada is a poorer country, and every citizen is worse off because the price of oil is lower," said Clark at Friday's closing news conference. " We're all very hopeful we will see a recovery price for that soon. But we need to take advantage of these moments in time." She said it is an opportunity for capital investments in innovation and in higher- value products, or to deploy workers from the oilsands to other industries that need them. " We do hope all Canadian thought leaders and decision- makers will take this opportunity to find an upside," said Clark. mia. rabson@ freepress. mb. ca Provinces ask for economic boost Premiers ' oblivious' to financial pressure, federal minister says By Mia Rabson Premiers pledge to work together on infrastructure OTTAWA - The country's premiers presented a united front on everything from infrastructure and seniors' health care to climate change and the need to protect Canadians from terrorism as they held their winter gathering Friday. Wrapping up the Council of the Federation meeting, the premiers almost uniformly praised a presentation on the economy by Kevin Lynch, vice- chairman of BMO Financial Group and former clerk of the Privy Council. Lynch's presentation made it clear investment in infrastructure is critical to economic prosperity, Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne said. " It was very much focused on the kind of long- term investment and long- term thinking of which infrastructure is a perfect example and infrastructure investment was part of what Mr. Lynch talked to us about." Wynne criticized federal Finance Minister Joe Oliver, who issued a statement earlier in the day to express dismay the premiers were seeking more federal money for infrastructure at a time when falling oil prices threaten Ottawa's finances. " The oblivion actually is on the part of the federal government that is apparently not listening to all of the voices at this table who have said that infrastructure and investment in infrastructure is very important on a number of fronts," said Wynne, who has proposed a multibillion- dollar, federal- provincial infrastructure partnership. Wynne got backup from B. C. Premier Christy Clark. " We can't build a country if we don't have infrastructure, because it's that infrastructure that allows us to get our goods to market, whatever those goods are, and that's why this investment is so important right now." A spokesman for Infrastructure Minister Denis Lebel took issue with the premiers. " Our government has introduced the largest and longest infrastructure plan in Canadian history with a $ 75- billion investment in public infrastructure over the next decade," Vincent Rabault said in an email. Prime Minister Stephen Harper skipped the meeting. Some provincial officials griped off the record about the tabling of the Conservatives' new anti- terrorism bill earlier Friday, suggesting it was an effort to steal thunder from the premiers. P. E. I. Premier Robert Ghiz said the premiers have agreed to work closely with law enforcement agencies in their jurisdictions to fight terrorism. - The Canadian Press SCAN PAGE TO HEAR PREMIERS RENEW CALL FOR INFRASTRUCTURE BOOST FROM OTTAWA ADRIAN WYLD / THE CANADIAN PRESS Manitoba Premier Greg Selinger speaks with Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne, Quebec Premier Philippe Couillard and Nova Scotia Premier Stephen McNeil following the closing news conference at the premiers' meeting in Ottawa Friday.
