Mark Carney spoke to two distinct audiences in Fort McMurray, Alta., on Thursday, where he announced that the proposed West Coast oil pipeline — now known as Pacific Link — has been officially listed as a project of national interest.
What happened
The outlets' own sentences, most widely reported first. Hover one for who reported it.
OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney is in Fort McMurray, Alta. with Alberta Premier Danielle Smith on Thursday to make a major announcement about the proposed West Coast pipeline.
The Alberta government and the federally owned Trans Mountain Corporation would each own 45 per cent of the pipeline, with the Calgary-based Pembina Pipeline Corporation owning a 10 per cent stake.
A report from TD Economics released this summer said a new West Coast pipeline would boost Canada’s oil exports by 20 per cent and more than double what currently goes overseas on tankers to Asia.
Indigenous communities along the route for the newly announced West Coast oil pipeline were given just two months for consultations on whether the pipeline should be designated a project of national interest — and that was still more than the government had planned.
