ground government minister german mark Carney and Alberta premiere Danielle ian smith are expected to sign an agreement on the future of Alberta's energy sector on Thursday, according to a senior federal government source.
While the last Liberal government essentially slammed the door shut on an oil pipeline to the region, Carney is open to considering such a project if Alberta, as the proponent, conducts the necessary Indigenous consultation and negotiates with the B.C. Government, among other conditions, the official said.
B.C. Slams 'secret' pipeline talks between Sask., Ottawa, Alberta
B.C. Premier David Eby has strenuously opposes such a pipeline. Another potential roadblock is the Trudeau-era B.C. Tanker ban bill, which prohibits ships laden with oil from docking at ports along the province's northern coast.
The federal government is considering granting limited exemptions, and there's a possibility it could use its power under C-5, the One Canadian Economy Act, to allow tankers associated with this proposed pipeline to bypass that moratorium.
No private proponent has recently expressed interest in constructing a pipeline to the West Coast. In an effort to attract a private company, Smith announced last month that her government plans to develop and submit a formal application to the federal Major Projects Office.
