On Thursday, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced the new Canada-British Columbia Cooperative Prosperity Agreement with the Government of British Columbia, a broad economic investment and infrastructure strategy that includes major federal funding commitments for several projects of major significance to B.C.

This includes Premier David Eby’s B.C. government now committing to work with the federal and Alberta governments on negotiations for Alberta’s proposal to build a new crude oil pipeline to the B.C. coast to reach overseas export markets and reduce the current dependence on the United States. Under the agreement, the B.C. government will discuss routing and permitting in “good faith.”
