Kelowna all the time

Premier Paul Okalik told the legislature on Tuesday that he was “very pleased” with last weekend’s meetings in Ottawa with the new Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

Okalik said the many promises made last year in Kelowna, B.C., by the former Liberal government was the “primary focus” of the talks between Harper and the three territorial leaders.

Okalik said he heard some “very promising words,” but he didn’t know the outcome of the weekend’s discussions or the former government’s promises for more housing, among other things.

Devolution and Arctic sovereignty were also brought up at the weekend meeting with Harper, Okalik said.
