Rachel Notley, AlbertaÂé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­™s Premier, stated that there must not be any unwarranted federal setbacks with regards to the construction of pipelines, which will see the transportation of oil and/or gas to international markets.

Notley declared: Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­œWeÂé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­™re just going to continue to work hard to make the case for why all of Canada needs this pipeline or a pipeline to get to tidewater and then a decision has to be made. We just canÂé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­™t dither on this for a lot longer.Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­

Even with First Nations, environmental groups and politicians opposing pipeline projects, such as EnbridgeÂé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­™s Northern Gateway pipeline and Kinder MorganÂé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­™s Trans Mountain expansion project, Notley said she will continue to relay the reasons as to why itÂé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­™s important Canada has a pipeline to transport its oil to ports, which will then be sold to international markets.

She explained: "Frankly, if I was in the federal government, I would not shut down any of my options until I knew I had one option that's successful. But that's me.Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­

Notley hopes to meet with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau soon, upon his visit to the Calgary Stampede.
