The Canadian Press/Ethan CairnsB.C. Premier David Eby said he is open to a potential proposal for a pipeline through the province, but that he does not support an end to the ban on oil tankers operating off B.C.’s northern coast.“We have been quite frank with Alberta and with the federal government that although we never supported the pipeline and we’re not enthusiastic about it, we’re good team players on Team Canada and we’re willing to do what we can to support an expansion project if it’s needed,” Eby told reporters in Surrey, B.C., on Nov. 21.
