QUEBEC CITY - Canada's premiers will spend part of the last day of their annual meeting in Quebec City talking about the economy with the country's top banker.

They'll have a breakfast meeting with Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney on Friday to discuss the state of the economy. Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty says he wants to make sure Carney is aware of the troubles his province's economy is facing, particularly with a strong dollar, but he stopped short of revealing if he'll call for interest rate relief.

The dollar is partly to blame for the troubles that the province's manufacturing sector faces in export markets.

The premiers are also expected to talk about climate change and other environmental issues.

The premiers' main triumph on Thursday was that they reached an agreement on longstanding irritant of labour mobility, which they hope will make it easier for skilled workers to work anywhere in Canada.
