The Globe and Mail reports in its Wednesday edition that Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre's attempt to have the House of Commons support a new oil pipeline failed after Liberals described it as a divisive political stunt. The Globe's Stephanie Levitz and Sean Kilpatrick write that despite amending his motion, both the amendment and the main motion were defeated on Tuesday. The motion aimed to acknowledge a new agreement between the federal government and Alberta, in which Ottawa promised to support a privately built pipeline under certain conditions. Mr. Poilievre's motion called on MPs to declare their support for the pipeline, along with a lifting of the oil tanker ban on British Columbia's north coast, while respecting the government's duty to consult with indigenous peoples. Mr. Poilievre's motion aimed to pressure the Liberals into supporting the pipeline, accusing them of indecision. However, Liberals argued that his motion misrepresented the agreement by omitting important aspects, like the involvement of B.C. and indigenous communities and Alberta's commitment to carbon pricing. Natural Resources Minister Tim Hodgson called the motion a "cynical ploy to divide us."
