Adrian Dix, B.C. minister of energy, says B.C. will continue to “support real projects” with real proponents and real money behind them, calling Smith’s proposed pipeline a “political proposal.”
The minister says Canadians should be coming together to work on real projects that drive jobs and incomes for families, instead of having debates about projects that lack business plans.
B.C. Conservative leader John Rustad says he agrees with Smith and Eby needs to be “called out for blocking the prosperity of Canadians.”
Rustad says B.C. residents need to think of themselves “not as British Columbians,” but as Canadians, who must help landlocked Alberta and Saskatchewan get their products to market.
