Poilievre calls for immediate pipeline approval following U.S. action in Venezuela
Poilievre calls for a 60-day federal approval on a West Coast pipeline to protect Canadian exports from being displaced by rebounding Venezuelan heavy crude in U.S. refineries.
- On Jan. 6, 2026, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre urged Ottawa to approve a coastal pipeline within 60 days of submission, pressing the federal government for a rapid decision.
- Venezuela holds approximately 303 billion barrels of crude, but its oil sector is in disrepair after years of neglect and sanctions, and analysts say output could double or triple from about 1.1 million barrels a day with investment.
- The Liberals and Alberta signed a memorandum in November committing to at least one coastal pipeline, with private financing and Indigenous co-ownership, and Alberta expects to submit an application to the major projects office by July 1.
