REGINA - The premiers of Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia have agreed to make it easier for people moving between the provinces to license their cars or continue apprenticeships.
Starting in April 2015, drivers won't need to get their cars inspected if their vehicles are less than four years old.
Nor will they need an inspection if one has been done at a designated facility within the last 90 days.
Currently, all vehicles must be inspected once they arrive in the new province, but that can be cumbersome and costly for workers and families.
The premiers have also agreed that apprentices in the skilled trades will be able to moves without having to start their training all over again.
They say that will be better for employers that operate in more than one province and will allow western provinces to more easily share training resources.
B.C. Premier Christy Clark, Alberta Premier Alison Redford and Saskatchewan's Brad Wall were supposed to gather in Regina on Thursday for a meeting of what they call the "New West Partnership." It ended up being a conference call instead.
