What people are saying about the B.C.-Ottawa ‘prosperity agreement’
Ottawa will fund major B.C. projects and keep the North Coast tanker ban, while B.C. agrees not to strongly oppose a proposed South Coast pipeline.
- On Friday, Premier David Eby and Prime Minister Mark Carney announced the Cooperative Prosperity Agreement, securing federal funding for provincial infrastructure while maintaining the North Coast oil tanker ban.
- Carney committed $10 billion for the Roberts Bank Terminal and $3 billion for the Massey Tunnel, addressing political paralysis, while Eby pledged not to use litigation to block proposed South Coast pipeline projects.
- "We recognize our constitutional position and we do not have the authority to stop a new pipeline," Eby said, signaling a shift to infrastructure investment rather than pursuing legal challenges against Alberta energy projects.
- Delta Coun noted the tunnel replacement aids 100,000 daily commuters on a national trade corridor, while Khelsilem emphasized that South Coast pipeline viability depends on First Nations imposing employment and procurement conditions.
- Alberta is set to unveil more pipeline details on Thursday, an announcement that will test the strength of the new partnership and Eby's commitment to avoiding legal opposition against energy projects.
