Rory Johnston, oil markets analyst, and Grant Sprague, former Alberta deputy energy minister, examine the federal-provincial memorandum of understanding on a pathway toward a West Coast bitumen pipeline. They analyze whether the agreement removes or adds barriers to construction, debate the viability of private sector financing versus public funding, and explore critical sequencing challenges between the pipeline and the Pathways carbon capture project.
