US EditionAlberta Expects Private Proposal for a New Oil Pipeline to B.C.
- Alberta Premier Danielle Smith announced on Tuesday that her government expects to receive a private proposal soon for a new pipeline to British Columbia's northwest coast.

- The proposed pipeline aims to move roughly one million barrels of crude daily, highlighting Alberta’s push to expand its export routes while emphasizing the need for continued collaboration between federal and provincial governments to move such initiatives forward.
