The Prime Minister's Office says Justin Trudeau spoke with Premier John Horgan Monday about the launch of BC's plan to cut greenhouse gas emissions.

The PMO says Trudeau was pleased to see similarities between the Clean BC roadmap and the federal government's climate plan, including increasing the price on pollution, reducing methane emissions and expanding use of electric vehicles.

It says in a statement Trudeau also raised the importance of continuing to work with B-C to prepare for future wildfire seasons and to rebuild the Village of Lytton.

Trudeau is among the world leaders headed to Glasgow next week for the annual United Nations summit aimed at tackling climate change.
