Conservatives introduce oil pipeline motion targeting Liberal caucus unity

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is pushing for a debate and vote in the House of Commons on a deal between Ottawa and Alberta for a new oil pipeline, aiming to highlight divisions within the Liberal caucus. His motion supports the construction of pipelines to export bitumen and discusses potential changes to the Oil Tanker Moratorium Act, opposed by many Liberals. Some Liberal MPs have criticized the motion as divisive, while others advocate for supporting the memorandum of understanding for economic benefits. The vote is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Eastern.
