REGINA—Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe has put together a committee of cabinet ministers to assess how the government could help get more pipelines built in the province. “Our government recognizes the necessity of further developing pipeline infrastructure to help our energy products reach key global markets,” he said in a statement Tuesday. Harrison, as well as the ministers of Environment, Energy and Resources, and Finance are in the group. “It’s not ideal that you would have governments directly involved in this fashion in energy infrastructure projects, but the reality is that unless governments are involved in energy infrastructure projects, they’re not going to get built,” he said. The Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs said First Nations need to be engaged in the initial discussions of any pipeline development to Churchill.
