Prime Minister Mark Carney says Ottawa won’t overrule a province’s opposition to pipeline construction, as he will seek consensus from all relevant stakeholders before the project gets the green light.

Carney made the comment during a June 6 press conference, where he outlined his government’s plan to eliminate federal trade barriers and advance nation-building projects through the introduction of the One Canadian Economy Act, also known as Bill C-5.
