B.C. Premier David Eby reported no significant updates regarding a proposed oil pipeline to the West Coast following a meeting with Prime Minister Mark Carney and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith. Eby expressed concerns about the lack of a private proponent and support from Indigenous groups, despite the project’s backing from Alberta and other premiers. He characterized the meeting as cordial but reiterated B.C.’s unchanged position on the pipeline. Smith plans to submit a proposal to the federal Major Projects Office to attract support from First Nations.
