- Quebec will support TransCanada’s (TRP -0.2%) Energy East pipeline only if it generates jobs for the province and if Alberta does more to protect the environment, Alberta Premier Rachel Notley says after meeting with Quebec Premier Couillard.
- Carbon pricing and the Energy East pipeline were among the topics discussed at the meeting, with both governments agreeing on their importance.
- While pipelines are “ultimately the best way to move” product from the oil sands, Notley says she and Couillard "need to see is some meaningful action with respect to environmental protection and climate change, and it needs to make economic sense."
- The proposed C$12B Energy East pipeline would transport as much as 1.1M bbl/day across six Canadian provinces to the Atlantic coast.
