- Prime Minister Mark Carney met with Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and leading energy executives in Alberta earlier this year to discuss pipeline infrastructure and energy export options.

- Discussions included building pipelines to the Pacific coast, fast-tracking projects considered in the national interest, and addressing challenges from federal emission caps and Indigenous consultation requirements.
- Carney posted "We all agree: it's time to build" and indicated support for pipelines linked to carbon capture projects, while Smith called the discussions a "grand bargain" with no current concrete pipeline proposals.
- The outcome remains uncertain as no company has committed to pipeline construction, opposition from British Columbia and Indigenous groups persists, and approval processes face both legal and political hurdles.
