GUNTER: Minimal private-sector dollars in Carney-Smith Pacific Link pipeline announcement
What happened
Prime Minister Mark Carney made a formal announcement in Fort McMurray, stating he can use federal powers to push the pipeline across First Nations territory and British Columbia. An independent Alberta would have to negotiate the pipeline on its own. Details of private-sector involvement in the project are unclear. The pipeline would transport one million additional barrels a day of bitumen and crude to the West Coast.
Why it matters
The pipeline's transportation of crude and bitumen to Asian markets could benefit Alberta. The project's success is uncertain due to potential First Nations and regional opposition. The role of private sector investment in the project is unclear.
