Alberta government stands by energy minister’s pipeline and COVID comments

Alberta Premier Jason Kenney and Energy Minister Sonya Savage

EDMONTON – Alberta’s government house leader is not backing away from his fellow minister’s comment that the COVID-19 pandemic is a great time to build pipelines.

On Friday, Energy Minister Sonya Savage told an energy industry podcast that because public health rules limit protest gatherings, it’s a “great time” to be building a pipeline.

House leader and Environment Minister Jason Nixon says Savage was just stating the obvious.

He says the government will continue to stand up for the industry and the people employed by it, although he adds the province supports the right to legal protests.

Savage’s remarks have spread worldwide, appearing on the BBC in Great Britain, Fox News in the United States and on climate activist Greta Thunberg’s Twitter feed.

Nixon says the government will do everything possible to get what he calls Alberta’s clean natural resources to market.
