Conservative motion will force Liberals to 'put up or shut up' on oil pipeline support: Poilievre
Conservatives seek to compel Liberal MPs to state their stance on a pipeline exporting over one million barrels daily, highlighting regional tensions and Indigenous consultation duties.
- On Tuesday, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre will table a non-binding motion requiring Liberal MPs to declare support for pipelines exporting at least one million barrels daily from a B.C. port to Asian markets, using language from the Canada–Alberta energy agreement.
- Poilievre urged the federal government to grant permits so construction can begin, saying `But if Mark Carney actually wanted to get anything built, he would have begun those consultations in May, the month after the election`.
- Meanwhile, Alberta's government announced changes to its industrial pricing system, which environmental advocates fear will lower the carbon price, but Schulz defended the updates as strengthening the system, saying `These targeted updates make the & system stronger and more effective.`
- The Assembly of First Nations chiefs voted unanimously to demand the federal–Alberta deal be withdrawn, with Chief Donald Edgars calling the pipeline to B.C.'s coast unrealistic and urging climate emergency recognition and upholding the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
- Polls and party pressure suggest Liberal MPs face a tough choice as David Coletto says many represent pipeline-affected regions, while Steven Guilbeault and Stephen Buffalo question Alberta's environmental and economic balance.
