On March 19, 2015, the governments of the Northwest Territories and Alberta signed the Mackenzie River Basin Transboundary Agreement. This historic agreement governs water resources, ecosystems and communities in the largest Canadian watershed and has implications for broader water and energy policy issues in Canada. Two of the leaders in the negotiations will describe the successful development of the agreement and what makes it innovative for Canada and the world.
