“We’re delivering on our plan to build a more competitive, resilient and self-reliant economy for Ontario and Canada and creating jobs for workers in the face of tariffs from the United States,” said Premier Doug Ford. “This nation-building pipeline and energy corridor will unite our country and help unlock new markets for Canada’s energy resources that will reduce our dependence on the United States, all while creating new jobs and opportunities for Canadian workers from coast to coast to coast.”
A new East-West energy corridor will help to protect Ontario’s energy security by ensuring a reliable and uninterrupted supply of oil and gas for Canadian homes. The pipelines would be built entirely within Canada using Canadian steel, supporting Canadian manufacturing, supply chains and creating good-paying jobs across the country.
“We’re taking bold action to grow our economy, build real infrastructure and get major projects moving again,” said Alberta Premier Danielle Smith. “Alberta, Ontario and Saskatchewan are proving what’s possible when provinces lead and stand together to advance a shared vision of responsible development, economic freedom and common sense. That means standing up for our energy sector and ensuring our world-class resources reach the markets that need them, so Canadians can prosper from the opportunities we create here at home.”
The feasibility study will be completed next year, delivering corridor and site options and cost analysis. It will also evaluate for complementary development opportunities across Ontario, such as Ring of Fire all-season roads, mineral exports, grid upgrades and a strategic petroleum reserve.
“Access to domestic and international markets is critical for Saskatchewan’s export-oriented economy. An East-West energy corridor is important for our province and for all Canadians, driving economic growth and delivering responsibly produced Canadian energy products to new markets,” said Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe.
