As Alberta Premier Danielle Smith pushes for a crude oil pipeline to British Columbia’s north coast, B.C. Premier David Eby says he’s not merely saying no.

As a substitute, Eby mentioned he’s in opposition to the general public funding of such a pipeline.

“What I don’t support is tens of billions of dollars in federal subsidy going to build this new pipeline when we already own a pipeline that empties into British Columbia and has significant additional capacity — 200,000 barrels,” Eby mentioned on Sunday, referring to the Trans Mountain pipeline.

He added there’s no firm at present advocating for Smith’s pipeline proposal.

“There’s no money for it,” Eby advised CBC’s chief political correspondent Rosemary Barton.

Smith has been advocating for the bitumen pipeline to B.C.’s northern tidewaters and mentioned she is actively looking for personal sector corporations.

She has steered the pipeline’s finish level be in Prince Rupert, B.C., avoiding the cancelled Northern Gateway pipeline’s proposed terminus in one other northern B.C. port, Kitimat.

However Eby mentioned he needs to prioritize tasks which might be “shovel-ready.”

“We have major projects with private proponents, cash on the table, ready to go to hire people and build — let’s focus on those,” he mentioned.

Eby listed B.C. power tasks together with the LNG Canada challenge in Kitimat and the Ksi Lisims LNG challenge north of Prince Rupert, in addition to main hydroelectric tasks, mining tasks within the northwest, and numerous wind and photo voltaic tasks that he mentioned will likely be interconnected with the Yukon and Alberta.

Eby additionally highlighted the truth that he just lately signed onto a memorandum of understanding with western premiers round a commerce hall that might embrace main power tasks similar to heavy oil.

However he famous there are main points with a proposal for a pipeline, notably the federal tanker ban on the north coast.

The ban prohibits oil tankers carrying greater than 12,500 metric tons of crude oil, or persistent oil merchandise, from stopping, loading, or unloading at ports in a restricted space overlaying almost your entire north coast.

Smith has mentioned she’s going to persuade Eby of the pipeline’s deserves, which she mentioned might embrace billions in income.

“It’s Team Canada or not,” she mentioned on Rosemary Barton Reside earlier this month.

“I would hope that what would happen is that we would identify whatever legitimate concerns that a province might have and then work through them,” Smith added.

Prime Minister Mark Carney has mentioned whereas he needs to hurry up “nation-building” infrastructure tasks, he needs to construct consensus between governments.

“We will not impose a project on a province,” Carney mentioned at a press convention earlier this month.

Eby mentioned he could be completely satisfied to take a seat down with Albertan officers if a non-public proponent got here to the desk with out public cash.

“We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it,” Eby mentioned.
