Business Council welcomes West Coast Oil Pipeline designation

The Business Council of Canada welcomes the announcement by the Government of Canada to designate the West Coast Oil Pipeline as a project of national interest. 

To invest with confidence in Canada, investors need certainty. Today’s announcement delivers it. 

A new pipeline to the West Coast would attract investment and support wealth creation through employment and higher government revenues. The project would also support the country’s goals to diversify trade, preserve economic security, bolster competitiveness and ensure that Canada receives fair value for its energy products. 

Canada is a global leader in responsible resource development and has a strong track record of working in partnership with Indigenous Peoples on major projects
