Manitoba Premier Brian Pallister says he has received unanimous support from other premiers for a federal credit agency to help provinces deal with the economic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Pallister says the premiers have written to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau asking for financial help.
The premier says he wants Ottawa to borrow on behalf of the provinces because the federal government gets a lower interest rate.
