Singh Says Pipelines Would Not Be First Priority for NDP Energy Policy
NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh says he sees an east-west clean electricity corridor as his first priority for expanding the Canadian energy market—not new pipelines.
While Singh isn’t shutting the door entirely to pipelines, he says pipeline projects must be accepted by the communities through which they’re routed, must not hurt the environment, must provide good jobs and must meet indigenous consultation requirements.
