What happened
Mark Carney's government introduced fossil fuel tax breaks and pipeline deals for Alberta oil. South Bow Corp. committed to building the $2.1-billion Prairie Connector pipeline, citing the government's planned investment deductions. Separately, Canadian oil producers reported a 68 per cent surge in operating profits between the first and second quarters of this year.
Why it matters
The new corporate tax break allows companies to immediately write off the full cost of acquiring or building assets, a move intended to spur business investment. Furthermore, the government plans to use the Building Canada Act to push pipelines to B.C.’s coast, bypassing certain regulations. High crude prices, which fluctuated between US$68 and US$105 per barrel in July and August, created a windfall for the oil sector.
Mark Carney's government had previously announced plans for a pipeline originating in Alberta, alongside spending announcements made in Ottawa.
