Saskatchewan Joins Ontario and Alberta in Agreement to Build New Energy & Trade Infrastructure
On July 22, 2025, Ontario Premier Doug Ford and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith welcomed Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe in joining the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to build the new pipelines, rail lines and other energy and trade infrastructure necessary to bring Ontario critical minerals and Western Canadian oil and gas to new markets. Today’s MOU calls for the new pipelines to be built using Ontario steel along a route that will connect western Canadian oil and gas to new and existing refineries in southern Ontario, as well as a new deep-sea port in James Bay. The MOU also calls for new rail lines, also built using Ontario steel, to connect critical mineral deposits located in Ontario’s Ring of Fire region to ports in Western Canada.
