Both Premiers Smith and Ford say pipelines are an excellent investment, and have not ruled out using taxpayer dollars to build a cross Canada pipeline.

🎤 Whisper Transcript (en) ⏱ 132s

"I want to say the thing to remember about pipelines is they're an excellent investment. That's why we have underwritten pipeline purchases and an equity stake for First Nations because they are revenue generating projects. And so ultimately who pays for them is the people who use them, the shippers, they pay through tolls. And we've already seen that with the Trans Mountain Pipeline, yeah, the federal government did front the money, but they're now earning $1.2 billion per year to pay it back. And that's why it's a bit of a different type of infrastructure question than whether you're building public infrastructure because it is a revenue generating business. And so I'm looking forward. I always hope that we can have private partners come forward on this because that also allows us to have the market discipline. But I'm grateful that Premier Ford is willing to look at all the options. I just want to clarify and then I do have a follow up to clarify you're open to it being paid for by taxpayer dollars. Well, we're going to do that feasibility study and then we'll be able to go from there. A great investment, no matter if it's the government that will get a good ROI over a certain period of time. I always prefer looking at the private sector investing. And I think it's going to be an incredible project. Folks, this is a historic announcement that no one would ever think in 100 years this would be done. But with a great leadership of Premier Smith, we're able to get this agreement moving forward and it's going to benefit everyone. It's going to benefit Ontarians, Albertans and most importantly, everyone from coast to coast to coast. So that's what we're focused on. It's going to create thousands and thousands of great paying jobs and we have to focus on our economy. We have to make sure we're self reliant, self sufficient on everything, no matter if it's great Alberta oil coming to Ontario or critical minerals being shipped out west and around the world or great nuclear capabilities. Folks, we are an economic powerhouse around the world and now we have to unleash that powerhouse. Make sure that everyone in the world, we can ship Alberta's oil, Ontario's nuclear and the critical minerals. Not to mention"
