Persuading British Columbia Premier David Eby to support the construction of a pipeline to transport oil from Alberta through his province to the coast is a top priority, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says.
Eby said last week he would not back a new pipeline, saying the Trans Mountain pipeline carrying crude and refined products from Edmonton to the B.C. coast is already operational and should be used to its maximum potential. He told reporters during a June 3 press conference that Smith’s vision for a north coast pipeline is “many, many years off.”
