B.C.’s energy minister says Ottawa should focus on practical projects with ready investors

B.C. Minister of Energy and Climate Solutions Adrian Dix says the province is putting forward “real projects with real investors."

The federal government should focus on practical projects with investors already at the table when it develops a list of nationally important infrastructure projects such as natural gas pipelines, says British Columbia’s Energy Minister.

But greenfield oil pipelines are a whole other matter, says Adrian Dix. Nor does he think adding a third line to the Trans Mountain pipeline system is feasible.

Mr. Dix spent two days in Calgary this week meeting with a variety of oil and gas companies to talk about his government’s priorities and the industry’s requests and concerns.
