Support for Development of Pipeline to West Coast

The Assembly was debating the following motion moved by Kim Gartner (Sask Party - Kindersley-Biggar):

That this Assembly call upon the Government of Saskatchewan to support the development of a new Canadian pipeline to carry Saskatchewan oil to the West Coast of Canada.

Megan Patterson: — Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker. To the MLA from Saskatoon Riversdale: if the Saskatchewan NDP so strongly support a West Coast pipeline, why don’t they work with their BC NDP counterparts and Premier Eby to convince them of the national benefits of a West Coast pipeline?

Kim Breckner: — Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker. It doesn’t seem to be getting through. Maybe en français [Translation: in French] this time.

Le NPD [Nouveau Parti démocratique] de la Saskatchewan appuie toutes les infrastructures favorisant le commerce, y compris les pipelines énergétiques.

[Translation: The Saskatchewan NDP supports all infrastructure that favours commerce, including energy pipelines.]

And we have been clear about this to all members of provincial governments, federal governments. In advance of the election we sent out a letter calling for this trade-enabling infrastructure. We have been very clear on this, in multiple languages now, that we support a pipeline to the West Coast.
