First Ministers' Meetings

First Ministers' Meetings are called by the Prime Minister to discuss issues of national importance and concern.

First Ministers' Meetings are not regularly scheduled and are therefore not as frequent as other intergovernmental meetings, like annual Premiers' conferences and Council of the Federation.
