Prime Minister Mark Carney's main focus will be on project development as he sits down with provincial and territorial premiers this week.

Carney told CBC's Power & Politics in an exclusive interview last week that "major projects" will be his main agenda item for Monday's meeting.

"We need to move on these nation-building projects. So projects that bring Canada together, projects that diversify our economy, projects that help us export to new markets and really move this economy forward," Carney told host David Cochrane.

"The ask of provinces, the ask of the private sector is: Which projects do you have that reach those criteria? What we're going to do is fast-track the approval, truly fast-track the approval, of those projects."
