Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will meet with Premier Rachel Notley in Edmonton next week.

The meeting is scheduled to take place Wednesday. 

Trudeau and Notley will discuss economic problems faced by Alberta, jobs, pipelines and climate change.

"Alberta is a resilient province with an incredible entrepreneurial spirit," Notley said in a statement, "and I'm pleased to have the opportunity to sit down with the Prime Minister to discuss how our two levels of government can work together to support that resiliency and work through this downturn."

Trudeau is also planning to visit Calgary during his Alberta visit.

Trudeau visited Notley at the legislature last June when he was still an opposition leader in the House of Commons.
