Carney to join Smith for Alberta oil pipeline update in Calgary today
The proposal is expected to favor a southern route as Alberta seeks federal approval for a one-million-barrel pipeline.
- Prime Minister Mark Carney and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith are providing an update on an Alberta oil pipeline proposal today, following delays to the initial submission deadline moved from July 1 to July 2.
- The application for a pipeline seeks to diversify exports to Asian markets, with federal review managed by the major projects office established in summer 2025 to streamline approvals and unlock capital.
- While Alberta previously pressed for a northern route, the expected proposal focuses on a southern path, coinciding with the federal government maintaining an oil tanker ban on the northern British Columbia coast.
- Premier David Eby secured an infrastructure agreement with Carney on Thursday in Vancouver, covering projects including the George Massey tunnel upgrade and Port of Vancouver expansion.
- Coastal First Nations celebrated the tanker ban, as President Marilyn Slett confirmed firm opposition to any northwest coast pipeline or terminal that would put Indigenous interests and First Nations support at risk.
