Ottawa et l’Alberta semblent près de conclure un accord sur un éventuel oléoduc
AI Article Summary
Ottawa and Alberta are nearing an agreement for an energy project involving the construction of a pipeline connecting Alberta to the northern coast of British Columbia. This initiative will require lifting the current tanker ban in this area, necessitating approval from the provincial government and First Nations. The project faces criticism from provincial leaders, as well as the Bloc Québécois and the Green Party.
What This Means for Canadian Contractors
This project highlights how pipeline projects can significantly impact permitting and financing requirements, particularly due to the need for First Nations and provincial government approvals. For Quebec-based builders, this means potential challenges regarding supply chains and workforce, as environmental and community support might remain a significant hurdle to secure necessary approvals. Costs and timelines may also be affected by the lifting of the tanker ban, necessitating strategic planning from the outset.
