Prime Minister Mark Carney said Thursday that the federal government will maintain its ban on oil tankers along British Columbia's North Coast. Carney made the statement in Vancouver alongside B.C. Premier David Eby. The announcement formed part of a multibillion-dollar agreement between Ottawa and British Columbia on resource development.
Smith was scheduled to release details of a privately financed pipeline proposal later the same day. The plan calls for a one-million-barrel-per-day line to Canada's West Coast and seeks federal designation as a project of national interest. The tanker ban removes one potential export route before Alberta's proposal reaches federal review.
The agreement between Ottawa and British Columbia is intended to advance resource projects while preserving the North Coast tanker moratorium.
