Carney Expected to Announce Decision on Pipeline’s National Interest Designation
The move would be the first under Bill C-5 and could speed approvals across a dozen federal laws, officials said.
- On Thursday, Prime Minister Mark Carney designated an Alberta-to-West Coast oil pipeline as a project of national interest in Fort McMurray, Alberta, alongside Alberta Premier Danielle Smith.
- This designation follows a May agreement requiring the pipeline's construction and the Pathways carbon capture project to be "mutually dependent," marking the first project receiving this status since Ottawa passed the Building Canada Act.
- Pembina Pipeline Corp holds a 10 per cent stake during construction, with Trans Mountain Corp and the Alberta Petroleum Marketing Commission funding the remainder; Ottawa confirmed Indigenous consultation is already underway.
- Energy Minister Tim Hodgson expects the Major Projects Office to complete its work on time, facilitating the designation while supporting broader efforts to simplify regulatory processes and incentivize capital investment.
- Lance Mortlock, managing partner at EY Canada, describes this as a "once-in-a-generation investment opportunity" that could set a path for Canada's prosperity for the next 100 years.
