Carney lays out pipeline conditions before talks with Eby on B.C.’s priorities

Carney said the pipeline can advance only with Pathways carbon capture, First Nations consultation and substantial benefits for British Columbians.

  • Prime Minister Mark Carney meets Premier David Eby of British Columbia in VANCOUVER today to discuss the proposed pipeline, following an implementation agreement between Ottawa and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith announced last Friday.
  • Eby criticized the federal government Tuesday for rewarding what he called Alberta's "bad behaviour" and "separatist premiers," arguing Ottawa should prioritize projects being advanced by British Columbia.
  • Addressing the Greater Vancouver Board, Carney stated the project requires the Pathways carbon capture initiative and that consultation with First Nations under section 35 of the Constitution is "non-negotiable."
  • Under the implementation agreement, Alberta must submit a project proposal by July 1, with construction potentially beginning in September 2027; both governments also finalized a deal on industrial carbon pricing.
  • Coastal First Nations members remain opposed, stating they will never allow tankers or a pipeline on the north coast, while the proposed project currently lacks an agreed route or private proponent.
