Overview

• Alberta will develop and submit a formal application to the federal Major Projects Office under the Building Canada Act, with a target of spring 2026.
• A technical advisory group with Enbridge, Trans Mountain and South Bow, alongside industry and Indigenous leaders, will guide pre‑FEED work, routing and engagement.
• The proposal envisions roughly one million barrels per day to a tidewater terminal on B.C.’s northwest coast, with specific route and costs still to be determined.
• No private financial proponent is backing the project at this stage, and the province says private capital could take over after regulatory approvals.
• B.C. Premier David Eby and Coastal First Nations voiced firm opposition, while Alberta says the federal tanker moratorium and emissions rules must be addressed for investors to participate.
