Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer touted his plan for a national energy corridor Saturday during a campaign stop in Edmonton.
Scheer, who was surrounded by workers at an energy sector services company, says the corridor will allow the federal government to take care of and address environmental concerns up front.
He says it would carry oil, gas, hydroelectricity and telecommunications from coast to coast.
The energy corridor was first pitched by Scheer in May, and the Conservatives say they would appoint a task force to provide recommendations that would consider Indigenous consultations, the role of provinces and a potential route for the corridor.
