Environmental groups and coastal First Nations say a major economic agreement announced this week between British Columbia and the federal government protects the North Coast tanker ban, but leaves new concerns about a possible southern oil pipeline route.

Alberta’s proposed new oil pipeline would be built along a southern route to the B.C. coast through a partnership with Trans Mountain Corporation and Pembina Pipeline Corporation.

Canada and British Columbia announced a broad agreement that would preserve the oil tanker moratorium on the north coast and ensure B.C. would see economic benefits if Alberta’s proposed pipeline project goes forward.

The Canadian Energy Regulator has sent a recommendation to the federal government to approve a $4 billion pipeline expansion project, that will have sections run through North of Quesnel, and bring close to 800 jobs into the area.
