Subhead:While pipeline proponents would certainly prefer to have British Columbia’s cooperation on energy infrastructure projects, it isn’t constitutionally required.#
In an opinion piece written for the Toronto Star, Gillian Steward claimed, “since the pipeline would run through B.C. Alberta needs B.C.’S co-operation.”
While pipeline proponents would certainly prefer to have British Columbia’s cooperation on energy infrastructure projects, it isn’t constitutionally required. The authority over interprovincial infrastructure projects is federally held.
Past B.C. premiers have been obstinate over pipeline projects but ultimately, they were unable to stop them.
B.C. Premier David Eby has had repeated outbursts in opposition to a proposed pipeline to the coast, but his permission isn’t required for the project.
