Interprovincial Relations
There are two key forums dedicated to interprovincial relationships.
The Council of the Federation (COF) was created in December 2003 as a forum for
provinces and territories to strengthen interprovincial-territorial cooperation,
improve federal provincial territorial relations and provide leadership on
intergovernmental issues. Premiers of each province and territory are members of
the council.
The Council of the Federation Secretariat is now accepting applications from across Canada for its 2010/2011 Youth Internship Program

The Council of Atlantic Premiers (CAP) was created in May 2000 to strengthen the
economic competitiveness of the region, improve the quality of public services
to Atlantic Canadians; improve the cost-effectiveness of delivering public
services to Atlantic Canadians and to promote Atlantic Canadian interests on
national issues. CAP's work builds on the ongoing work of the Council of
Maritime Premiers (CMP) and the Conference of Atlantic Premiers.
