Alberta and the federal government aim to build a new pipeline to BC, potentially transporting 300,000-400,000 barrels of oil per day to Asian markets. The projects approval hinges on serving national interest and offering Indigenous co-ownership. The Alberta Indigenous Opportunities Corporation is a key partner, but not all Indigenous groups are on board, citing lack of involvement in initial decisions. The project faces hurdles, including the Oil Tanker Moratorium Act and concerns over oil spills. No industry partners have expressed interest yet.
