First ministers from all Canadian provinces and territories will meet beginning Wednesday in New Brunswick, and with Greyhound stopping most of its western Canada routes, Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe expects transportation to be a topic.

Saskatchewan's budget released in March 2017 meant the closure of the Saskatchewan Transportation Company; and come fall Greyhound won't run any more routes in Saskatchewan, as ridership decreased signficantly for the company as a whole - especially in the province.

The Saskatchewan government doesn't plan to provide any kind of subsidy for Greyhound or another private company to operate.

"With respect to Saskatchewan we won't be providing funding for Greyhound," Moe said. "It would be our hope that... the private sector will have a look at these main routes."

Moe added that he isn't of the opinion the federal government should stop up and provide funding.

"It would be difficult for us to stand and make an ask of the federal government, understanding that we found the subsidy that we were providing for our provincial bus service to be too large years into the future. But we will have those discussions at the council of federation meeting; I look forward to those discussions as well. We'll see what type of decisions that we can come up with."

The Council of Federation runs in St. Andrews, N.B. Wednesday through Friday.
