We will always stand up for workers in the oil patch in Alberta, as we do for people in every province & territory, whether they work in forestry, aerospace, steel mills or auto plants.
The TMX pipeline project will be built, because it’s of vital strategic interest to Canada. It’s vital for the hundreds of thousands of people whose jobs depend on our energy sector, and for the health of our economy as a whole.
That’s why today I told Premiers Notley and Horgan that the federal government will use its authority to resolve this impasse: We’re in financial discussions with Kinder Morgan to remove uncertainty from the TMX project, and are pursuing legislative options as well.
Canadians in every part of our country, in every sector - in Alberta, BC or anywhere else – work hard to put food on the table. Our government will fight for their families and futures.
