Quebec premier doesn’t understand Alberta’s energy industry: Ceci

The Alberta finance minister says Quebec’s premier lacks understanding about Alberta’s energy industry.

Joe Ceci made the remark ahead of a federal-provincial finance ministers’ meeting today in Ottawa.

Quebec Premier Francois Legault said a few days ago that there’s no social acceptability for a pipeline that would carry what he called dirty energy through his province.

Ceci says all of Canada’s economy will benefit if Alberta can transport its oil to international markets, and he insists pipelines are the safest way to get crude to coastal ports.
