Poilievre’s Conservatives promise national energy corridor – CTV News
March 31, 2025
SAINT JOHN, N.B. — The Conservative campaign moved to the East Coast on Monday morning with a promise to create a pre-approved national energy corridor to speed up infrastructure projects.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said that if his party forms government, it would fast-track approvals for projects such as transmission lines, railways, pipelines and other critical infrastructure.
He said companies don’t have an incentive to build pipelines in Canada “even as pipeline construction is booming all over the world because pipelines are, of course, so wildly profitable.”
A Conservative government would repeal Bill C-69, the law that enacts the Impact Assessment Act and the Canadian Energy Regulator Act, which Poilievre calls the “no new pipelines law.”
