The Government of Saskatchewan has officially announced its support for Bill C-264, introduced by the Conservative Party of Canada, which calls on the federal government to end the marine oil tanker ban on the north coast of British Columbia. Premier Scott Moe and Energy and Resources Minister Chris Beaudry stated that removing this legislative barrier would increase Western Canadian energy export capacity, diversify trade toward Asian markets, reduce transit times and shipping costs, and help narrow the price discount for Western Canadian Select heavy oil.
