Alberta Opposition NDP leader Naheed Nenshi says he supports Premier Danielle Smith’s plan to pursue a new pipeline that could involve public financing. Nenshi does not view government funding as a deal-breaker, and he indicates he would prefer a greater role for private investment. At the same time, he calls on Smith to be transparent about the potential financial risk to taxpayers. In particular, Nenshi says Smith should clearly explain how much public money could be required and what taxpayers might ultimately be responsible for if the project’s costs or outcomes change. The comments reflect a conditional posture from the NDP: while Nenshi expresses openness to the broader pipeline approach, he emphasizes the need for detailed public accounting and clearer projections regarding liabilities. The reports agree that Nenshi’s stance is aimed at balancing support for the project with demands for honesty and disclosure from the governing side about the fiscal implications of any public involvement.
