Premier David Eby said midday on Monday (Nov. 24) that he had spoken to Prime Minister Mark Carney about a memorandum of understanding being negotiated between Alberta and the federal government relating to a northern B.C. oil pipeline.<\/p>\n

“He has outlined to me that the agreement with Alberta is not finalized yet,” Eby said. “And I took the opportunity of our conversation to outline British Columbia’s perspective.”<\/p>\n

Shortly after Eby’s comments, CBC News reported that the basic terms of a deal<\/a> with Alberta has been agreed to, with an official announcement expected on Thursday.<\/p>\n

A pipeline would require the lifting of a ban on heavy oil tankers docking on B.C.’s north coast. Area First Nations oppose rescinding this ban or introducing exemptions.<\/p>\n

Eby said he told Carney his three main concerns: That he thinks First Nations need to have a say in a pipeline impacting their traditional territory, that any massive multi-billion-dollar subsidy for a project that benefits Alberta ought to be matched by a similar subsidy for a B.C. project, and that the dangers of transporting oil through north coast water must be accounted for.<\/p>\n

“At a minimum, coastal First Nations and British Columbia need to be at the table for these conversations about our province,” Eby said.<\/p>\n

There is also no project proposal or proponent, something Eby has pointed out regularly for several months as talk of a new pipeline has heated up.<\/p>\n

Eby said Carney listened carefully to his concerns, but made “no commitments.”<\/p>\n

“I understand the need for the prime minister to engage with premiers across the country,” Eby said. “I’ll reserve my judgment about the content of the agreement until I see it.” <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
