Varcoe: Canadian oilsands giant hopes grand bargain 'comes to fruition' — new pipeline and massive carbon capture project
The president of Canada's largest petroleum producer expects the country's oil pipelines will fill up within the next decade — and believes a new one should be included on the Carney government's major project list. Article content Canadian Natural Resources president Scott Stauth would also welcome a massive carbon capture network in the oilsands making it onto the federal list — part of what Premier Danielle Smith says could be part of 'grand bargain' to also advance a greenfield pipeline. Article content Article content Article content However, there are plenty of kilometres still to go in this marathon — and no assurances how the race will play out. Article content Article content 'I do believe Canada will need a new oil egress pipeline within the next five to 10 years. And I think it's important the government continue on the path that they have, to consider a pipeline,' Stauth said in an interview Thursday. Article content 'It does need to be on the major projects list in order to be part of the Bill C-5 that they've put into legislation . . . To me, they go hand in hand.' Article content Canadian Natural, which released its second-quarter earnings Thursday, produced 1.42 million barrels of oil equivalent per day in the April-to-June period, and is one of six members in the Pathways Alliance group of oilsands producers. Article content Article content Article content The federal Liberal government recently passed Bill C-5, which expedites projects of national significance. Alberta's premier has said both developments should be included on the major projects list, an idea Prime Minister Mark Carney appears to be considering. Article content However, Smith's idea of building a new million-barrel-a-day oil pipeline to the Pacific Coast — and doubling Alberta's oil and gas production in the future — is ambitious. And no private sector proposals for a greenfield pipeline are on the table, yet.

Conversations That Matter: Build, baby, build!
In an odd way, it's as though Prime Minister Mark Carney borrowed a card from President Donald Trump when he pushed through Bill C-5. The prime minister announced the concept of the bill on June 6 and 20 days later, it passed in the House and Senate. That's way faster than the U.S. president's passing of his 'Big Beautiful Bill.' Bill C-5 has been framed as a national plan to 'remove federal barriers to interprovincial trade and improve labour mobility.' 'Bill C-5 also sends a signal that Canada is open for business,' said Radha Curpen of McMillan LLP says. 'It is a bill designed to improve efficiencies in approval processes. The biggest question is, will it also respect indigenous rights?' Curpen joined a Conversation That Matters about the upsides and the concerns about Bill C-5.
