B.C. Premier David Eby says he and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith have different priorities on moving heavy oil to tidewater, adding that while Western premiers back an economic corridor, it’s still early to revisit the Northern Gateway pipeline project.
Eby made the comments at a press conference on May 22, following a meeting among Western premiers in Yellowknife where they discussed trade, Arctic security, energy security, and other issues. Eby said that while all premiers have different priorities, they have agreed to “work together in a moment of crisis,” referring to trade tensions with the United States.
