Alberta Premier Danielle Smith holds a news conference in Calgary to discuss the establishment of a new working group between the provincial government and Enbridge with the aim moving more Alberta oil and gas across Canada and to the United States. She is joined by Enbridge CEO Greg Ebel. Working with Enbridge to develop opportunities to expand the company’s footprint and increase global market access is aligned with the Alberta government’s goal of doubling oil and gas production.

Responding to questions from reporters, Smith comments on Justin Trudeau’s announcement that he intends to step down as prime minister and federal Liberal leader. Premier Smith also discusses the need for a concerted approach to respond to U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s threat to impose a 25 per cent tariff on all imports from Canada.
