Hodgson says Ottawa is close to providing clarity on B.C. tanker ban

The federal government is close to deciding on repealing the 2019 tanker ban amid energy talks with Alberta that could lead to a new oil pipeline agreement, officials said.

  • Natural Resources Minister Hodgson says Ottawa is close to providing clarity on the B.C. tanker ban that prohibits tankers carrying crude oil along B.C.'s Northern coast.
  • The tanker ban became law in 2019 under former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and has been criticized by the Alberta government.
  • Alberta Premier Danielle Smith intends to submit a proposal for an oil pipeline from Alberta to B.C.'s West Coast next spring as part of a potential deal with the federal government.
