US EditionAlberta Premier in Ottawa to push for federal partnership on energy projects
- Danielle Smith, the Premier of Alberta, has traveled to Ottawa this week to follow through on her recent commitment to back the development of a proposed oil pipeline connecting Alberta to Canada’s West Coast.
- Her visit is driven by efforts to secure federal cooperation and lobby Ottawa to repeal environmental policies from former prime minister Justin Trudeau's government, such as oil tanker bans and emissions caps.
- On Monday, Smith spoke with Mark Carney at the Ottawa airport ahead of Carney's trip to the United States, where he was scheduled for discussions with President Trump.
- Smith told reporters that building major projects in Canada requires compromise between new energy infrastructure and emission reductions, while Carney emphasized there are 'exciting opportunities available.'
- Smith is optimistic that despite lacking both a private investor and a finalized route, the pipeline proposal could be ready for submission to Carney’s newly established Major Projects Office before the arrival of spring.
