Pipeline Deal Debated // Can We Solve Homelessness?

Ottawa and Alberta have signed off on an agreement to build a new pipeline to northwest B.C. How long 'til shovels are in the ground? Who will pay for it? Or, could pushback from Premier Eby's office or coastal First Nations stop the project from happening? 

3:30 | Dr. Tom Gunton, Dr. Heather Exner-Pirot, and Sharan Kaur give us their assessment of what's in the agreement (and what's not), the future of federal-provincial relations, and Canada's energy outlook over the next few decades.
