Canada, U.S. must do more to remove political risks around pipeline permits, South Bow CEO says
The CEO of South Bow Ltd. emphasizes the need for Canada and the U.S. to mitigate political risks associated with pipeline permits. The proposed Prairie Connector pipeline aims to transport 450,000 barrels of oil daily from Alberta to the U.S. border, following a route similar to the defunct Keystone XL project. Addressing regulatory uncertainties is crucial for the project's advancement and the overall growth of Canada's oil sector.
