Démission de Steven Guilbeault | Des élus libéraux minimisent l’importance de l’entente avec l’Alberta
AI Article Summary
Two Liberal MPs downplayed the importance of a preliminary agreement between Ottawa and Alberta regarding an oil pipeline, which led to Steven Guilbeault's resignation. The agreement is still a memorandum of understanding and faces strong opposition in British Columbia. MP Éric St-Pierre noted there are many steps before any finalization, and other politicians, like Gregor Robertson, expressed disagreement. Guilbeault's resignation was a surprise within the environmental caucus, but he remains a Member of Parliament.

Companies should also anticipate prolonged discussions, especially in the context of relations with Indigenous communities and environmental opposition.
