Canada seeks study for new pipelines, infrastructure to bolster energy security
A request for proposals (RFP) for a feasibility study to build new oil and gas pipelines connecting Ontario and Alberta has been filed, according to The Canadian Press.
Last month, a memorandum of understanding between Ontario, Alberta and Saskatchewan was reached to explore ways Canada can achieve greater energy independence, including new pipelines, rail lines and other infrastructure, The Canadian Press reported.
According to Ontario Premier Doug Ford, new pipelines and rail lines are essential to boost Canada's access to energy, as well as economic stability.
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says an Alberta-Ontario energy corridor would help transport the region's oil and gas to global markets.
The feasibility study is also set to explore a new port outlet on James Bay, Hudson Bay and the Great Lakes, and look at the possibility of a new or expanded refinery along the pipeline route.
Ontario officials have also expressed interest in the benefits of establishing an emergency stockpile of petroleum, and will explore these options through the feasibility study.
