Late last week, Prime Minister Mark Carney and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith unveiled a fresh energy pact that sets the stage for a new pipeline heading to the West Coast. This agreement includes a carbon pricing arrangement for industries and hinges on the approval of the Pathways project, which involves a proposed carbon capture, utilization, and storage facility.
