加拿大将西海岸输油管道列为首个「国家利益」项目 卡尼政府提速重大工程审批
2026年10月1日，加拿大总理卡尼（Mark Carney）政府在渥太华宣布，将拟建的西海岸输油管道「太平洋连接线」（Pacific Link）列为新《建设法》框架下的首个「国家利益」项目。这是卡尼政府为应对美国关税压力、加快重大自然资源项目审批而推出的标志性一步，消息由总理办公室正式发布，彭比纳管道公司（Pembina）同日确认项目清单地位。
据总理办公室与道琼斯通讯社10月1日报道，该管道拟把阿尔伯塔省原油输往不列颠哥伦比亚省西海岸，新增出口能力约每日100万桶，阿尔伯塔省早前估算造价至少352亿加元，省级登记文件则列出437亿加元的估算。参与企业将在未来一年开展线路测绘、生态调查、成本估算、采购与人力规划。卡尼表示，过去企业要在不知联邦立场的情况下先投入数年时间和数十亿资金，新做法将大幅提速。
联邦政府同时设下前提：管道建设须配套建设碳捕集与封存项目，利用吸收塔捕集二氧化碳并深埋地下。卡尼说，配套的 Pathways 碳捕集项目本身可创造约4万个岗位、带来超过160亿加元的国内生产总值。此前数日，壳牌牵头的加拿大液化天然气公司（LNG Canada）刚决定扩建其在不列颠哥伦比亚省的液化天然气业务，产能将翻倍，卡尼称这将释放330亿加元私人投资、施工期创造4000多个直接岗位。
这条管道的推进正值加拿大与美国贸易关系紧张之际。卡尼政府9月已公布法案草案，拟把重大项目联邦审批时间压缩至一年左右，环评与许可审查同步进行。支持者认为这有助于加拿大把能源出口多元化至亚洲与欧洲市场；批评者则提醒，管道仍须完成原住民咨询与环境评估，国家利益认定并不等于最终投资决定，项目走向仍取决于企业决策与后续程序。
Canada Names West Coast Oil Pipeline Its First Project of National Interest as Carney Speeds Up Major Builds
On October 1, 2026, Prime Minister Mark Carney's government in Ottawa designated the proposed Pacific Link oil pipeline to Canada's West Coast as the first project of national interest under its new building rules. The Prime Minister's Office formally announced the listing, and Pembina Pipeline Corporation confirmed the designation the same day, in what Carney cast as a new, faster way of building in Canada.
According to the Prime Minister's Office and Dow Jones Newswires reporting on October 1, the pipeline would carry Alberta crude to the British Columbia coast and add about one million barrels a day of export capacity. Alberta earlier estimated the cost at at least C$35.2 billion, while the provincial project registry lists an estimate of C$43.7 billion. Companies signing on will spend the coming year on route mapping, ecological surveys, cost estimates, procurement and workforce planning. Carney said builders previously had to spend years and potentially billions before knowing where the federal government stood.
As a prerequisite, Ottawa has insisted on a companion carbon capture and storage development using absorption towers to capture carbon dioxide and store it deep underground. Carney said the Pathways carbon project would itself create an additional 40,000 jobs and more than C$16 billion in GDP. The designation came days after the Shell-led LNG Canada consortium decided to expand its British Columbia liquefied natural gas operations, doubling capacity; Carney said that decision will unlock C$33 billion in private investment and more than 4,000 direct construction jobs.
The push comes as Canada grapples with U.S. tariffs. In September the government unveiled draft legislation to cut major-project review times to about a year, running federal impact assessments and permit reviews simultaneously. Supporters say the pipeline would help diversify energy exports toward Asia and Europe, while critics note that Indigenous consultation and environmental review are still required, and that a national-interest listing is not a final investment decision.
