Canada’s economic productivity crisis can only be solved if the federal and provincial governments come together to address issues like major project approvals and inter-provincial trade barriers, Alberta’s premier said Wednesday.

“Every government, at every level in this country, needs to be pulling in the same direction,” said Danielle Smith, who spoke in Calgary at a national conference on productivity, a term which describes how much an economy produces per hour worked.
