With Alberta pushing hard for a new pipeline, Rafi Boujikaneen has more from Saskatoon. The point is to build the certainty, the stability and the ambition that builders need. Prime Minister Mark Carney has a list now of what each of the 13 provincial and territorial premiers consider their top priorities.

Ottawa will have to decide which ones receive federal funding. The one that raised the most questions going into this meeting? Alberta's proposal for a new pipeline connecting the Pacific coast and BC to the shores of Hudson Bay and Manitoba. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says she understands her counterparts and the federal government would want any new pipeline to carry decarbonized oil. There is a group of oil companies that have been advocating for some time for what they call the Pathways Project that would decarbonize the production of their bitumen.

It's not clear what BC thinks. Before this meeting, it cited a difference of opinion with its neighbor on bitumen. The federal government is expected to table its legislation on fast-tracking projects this week. Rafi Boudjikani on CBC News, Saskatoon.

Katie Simpson, CBC News, Washington. At peace talks in Turkey, delegations from Ukraine and Russia agreed to exchange

all prisoners of war who are seriously wounded or ill, as well as soldiers aged 25 and under. Russia says it will also return the remains of 6,000 soldiers killed in combat.
