B.C’s Opposition Conservatives have been talking with Alberta about pipeline: Rustad
B.C. Conservatives engage Alberta and Saskatchewan on a new heavy-oil pipeline proposal amid federal talks that could lift tanker bans, impacting First Nations and coastal economies.
- John Rustad told reporters at the legislature that he has 'of course' spoken with Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and Saskatchewan about a pipeline to B.C.'s northern coast, and the talks are not secret.
- A Globe and Mail report this week found the federal and Alberta governments near an MOU allowing tanker traffic, with John Rustad supporting Alberta's plan to reach markets beyond the U.S. and urging David Eby to cooperate.
- Rustad countered that Eby is 'fearmongering,' disputing claims of secret talks and saying First Nations opposition is overstated while the pipeline is 100 per cent within federal jurisdiction.
- In a Thursday statement, David Eby, B.C. Premier, said the unfunded pipeline proposal risks jobs and called the northern coast an economic driver, while Ravi Kahlon urged expanding Trans Mountain capacity and Peter Milobar called for ending two weeks of theatre.
- The Globe and Mail report suggests an MOU permitting tanker traffic highlights federal jurisdiction issues, while John Rustad says his outreach includes Saskatchewan and diverse groups amid First Nations concerns.
