BC’s Eby Says He’s Not Blocking Smith’s North Coast Pipeline but There’s No Money, Proponent for the Project

British Columbia Premier David Eby says he’s not blocking Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s plan to build a pipeline to his province’s northern coast, but that there is currently no proponent or money for the project. 

“I’m not the one who stands between Premier Smith and a pipeline to the coast. There’s no proponent, there’s no money, there’s no project right now,” Eby said during a June 9 press conference in Seoul, South Korea at the end of a 10-day trade tour through Asia.
