Carney, who became Canada’s prime minister in March, was asked if a new oil pipeline to the British Columbia coast would be included on his government’s list of projects deemed to be of national importance.

It comes after the government recently passed Bill C-5, which expedites projects of national significance and removes internal trade barriers.

“It’s highly, highly likely that that will be the case. And the only reason why I don’t say it definitively is this is not a top-down approach from the federal government saying, ‘We want this, we want that,’ ” he said.

“I would think, given the scale of the economic opportunity, the resources we have, the expertise we have, that it is highly, highly likely that we will have an oil pipeline that is a proposal for one of these projects of national interest.”

Carney also suggested the $16.5-billion carbon capture and storage project pitched by the Pathways Alliance group of oilsands operators could also merit a spot.

Both ideas have the backing of Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and industry leaders, who want to see increased transportation capacity in the future to move Western Canadian oil to the B.C. coast for export.
