Oil Pipeline Project of National Interest

planned

The Canadian government under Prime Minister Mark Carney is preparing to announce the first projects of national interest, but no oil pipeline project is currently on the list. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has expressed interest in an oil pipeline connecting the oilsands to northern British Columbia, but no private company has yet expressed interest in financing or building such a project. The government emphasizes the need for private developer involvement and consensus with provinces. The absence of a pipeline project in the initial list does not rule out future pipeline projects, including natural gas pipelines.
