Ottawa has not received any private sector proposals to build a new pipeline linking Alberta to British Columbia, says federal Natural Resources Minister Tim Hodgson.

Hodgson was in Calgary on July 4 announcing funding for five Alberta carbon capture projects when he was asked how receptive he would be if a proponent were to emerge in the coming weeks for a new crude pipeline from Alberta to northern B.C.
