Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and Prime Minister Mark Carney have expressed conditional support for a new pipeline to transport oilsands bitumen, contingent on the implementation of carbon capture systems by the Pathways Alliance. The federal government plans to fast-track approvals and extend subsidies for carbon capture initiatives, with the project expected to reduce emissions by 10-12 megatonnes annually by 2030, despite ongoing concerns about the carbon footprint of fossil fuel use. Public funding for the estimated $16 billion project is anticipated, along with tax credits for enhanced oil recovery.
