Sask. Premier Brad Wall to push pipelines and trade with new PM

As he watched the election results from across Canada roll in on Monday night, Saskatchewan's Premier said he probably had a similar reaction to that of many in the country.

Brad Wall said he was surprised by the scale of the win, but he believes the federal Liberals ran a good campaign and that Canadian people wanted change.

"You know, I think Saskatchewan people will expect us, and rightfully so, to say, 'it doesn't matter now the parties involved, what matters is that Saskatchewan people's interests are advanced by their provincial government and by the new federal government working together,'" Wall told The Morning Edition's host Sheila Coles on the radio Tuesday morning.

Among Wall's priorities are a number of economic issues, from equalization to pipelines.

"We want to advance the notion that we need some pipelines in this country to be able to move our energy to market, to get full value for it, to create value-added opportunities perhaps across Canada," Wall said.

As one of the country's most popular premiers, Wall was asked if he had any advice for a young, popular Liberal leader.  

He noted that prime minister-designate Justin Trudeau has a strong team, including veteran Regina-Wascana MP Ralph Goodale. 

"Lean on those folks, is what I would offer, and remember that every single day in office is really one day closer to when you have your next job interview."
