Conservative Leaders Attend Pro-Pipeline Rally in Saskatchewan

Federal Tory leader Andrew Scheer and the conservative premiers of Saskatchewan and New Brunswick spoke today at a pro-pipeline rally near the Saskatchewan-Manitoba boundary. The aim of the event at a pumpjack facility was to draw attention to concerns about Bill C-69—federal legislation that proposes major changes to how energy projects are reviewed. Rally organizer Sinclair Harrison said if the bill passes it would be detrimental to future pipeline development.
