Canada needs to maximize existing pipelines before building more, minister says
- On May 13, 2025, Canadian Culture Minister Steven Guilbeault urged maximizing existing pipeline use before building new ones during a cabinet event in Ottawa.
- Guilbeault’s statement followed Prime Minister Mark Carney’s CTV interview where he expressed openness to more pipelines if there is national consensus, though pipeline usage data remains contested.
- Canada’s oil and gas sector has requested repeal of the emissions cap and assessment law and currently shows no intent to build new pipelines under existing regulations.
- The Canada Energy Regulator reported Trans Mountain pipeline utilization near 76% as of December 2024, while Guilbeault claimed less than half the capacity is used, illustrating a dispute over actual pipeline usage.
- These developments suggest ongoing debates on pipeline policy and regulatory changes will shape Canada’s oil and gas infrastructure strategy in the near future.
