What happened
The federal government was reportedly nearing agreements with British Columbia on major projects, including a crude oil conduit pitch and a Pathways carbon-capture project. These talks occurred while Alberta was also facing a July 1 deadline regarding the Pathways project. Separately, a technical study examining the economic consequences of Alberta leaving Canada stated that continued market access, particularly to the U.S. market, is crucial for the resource sector's productivity.
Why it matters
The talks involve potential major investments in energy infrastructure and resource processing. The viability of these projects is tied to government support and the ability to secure market access for products like oil and energy.
