Poilievre Says Consensus Shouldn’t Be Required for Major Project Approvals, Including Pipelines

The approval and building of key projects, like a new pipeline, should be a priority even without a consensus from stakeholders and premiers, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says.

If Canada has any hope of selling its oil and gas to countries beyond the United States, a new pipeline is a necessity, Poilievre said during a June 9 press conference on Parliament Hill.
