Rob Shaw: Eby floats refinery as pipeline pressure builds
AI Article Summary
Premier Eby suggests that public funds could be more efficiently used to refine oil in Alberta rather than investing in a new pipeline to British Columbia. This perspective arises amidst increasing pressure regarding pipeline projects. The Premier's proposal could shift the focus from infrastructure development to enhancing industrial facilities for oil refinement.
What This Means for Canadian Contractors
This project shows how government considerations can shift resource allocation towards refining infrastructure rather than pipelines, affecting demand on industrial construction expertise. For Canadian builders, this means potential increased opportunities in constructing or expanding refineries, especially in Alberta, and a shift in labor demand towards industrial rather than infrastructure projects.
