CALGARY – Federal Industry Minister James Moore says he expects soon-to-be Alberta premier Jim Prentice will be a welcome ally when it comes to future pipeline projects.

Prentice spent years in Stephen Harper’s government in cabinet posts that included Indian Affairs and Northern Development, Environment and Industry.

Prentice stepped away from politics in 2010 to take a corporate job in Calgary.

He was also hired by Enbridge to try to bring First Nations on side with the company’s Northern Gateway proposed project through northern British Columbia.

Moore says he considers Prentice a close friend and the federal government would welcome any help he can provide in moving projects such as Northern Gateway and Keystone forward.

He says federal-provincial relations were fine under former Alberta premier Alison Redford, but will probably be even better with Prentice in charge.
