By Kevin Green

Alberta business and energy leaders say getting more oil to tidewater should be the priority, regardless of the route, as debate continues over a potential new pipeline to the West Coast.

That comes as The Globe and Mail reports Ottawa may favour a southern route to Vancouver over the northern path to Prince Rupert long promoted by Premier Danielle Smith.

British Columbia Energy Minister Adrian Dix said his government has consistently opposed a northern route.
