Doug Ford and Scott Moe will meet at the Ontario legislature to discuss a variety of issues including the federal carbon tax, interprovincial trade and an upcoming meeting of Canada's premiers.
The Conservative leaders have been vocal opponents of the federal carbon tax and both launched court challenges against it last year.
