Alberta’s Danielle Smith says agreement with Ottawa expected to be signed in coming days

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith on Thursday said an agreement with Ottawa is expected to be signed in the coming days that would address federal regulations she has repeatedly said hamper private-sector investment in the energy industry.

The Premier said she is also encouraged by the latest batch of projects announced by Prime Minister Mark Carney this week that will be fast-tracked through his government’s newly created Major Projects Office, headed by former Trans Mountain Corp. chief executive Dawn Farrell in Calgary.
