The Globe and Mail reports in its Tuesday edition that it is time for a new conversation
about building pipelines in this
country. The Globe's guest columnists Murray Edwards and Brian Ferguson write that getting Canadian oil production
to market safely and consistently
with the environmental values we
all share is foundational to the
pipeline discussion. Ottawa
recently announced extra
principles it will consider
before approving a pipeline project.
One of the principles involves
an assessment of the greenhouse gas
emissions, including those associated
with the production of
the oil the pipelines will carry. The guest columnists
believe Alberta's new climate
plan will offer strong evidence in
Ottawa's assessment of progress
in this direction.
The plan reflects a fundamental
shift, acknowledging that polarization
and conflict is not constructive.
As producers and refiners, Mr. Edwards and Mr. Ferguson
believe approval of the Trans Mountain pipeline would launch a
new era in export opportunities
for Canada and the industry.
Approval of the Trans
Mountain expansion project will
benefit more than just producers,
it will provide significant economic
potential for the entire
country.
