Saskatchewan Joins Ontario and Alberta in Agreement to Build New Energy and Trade Infrastructure

July 22, 2025

• As the world grapples with President Trump’s unfair tariffs, it’s more important than ever to build a resilient and self-reliant economy here at home.
• This agreement sends a clear message: Ontario, Alberta, and Saskatchewan are ready to get shovels in the ground and move forward on projects that will secure our long-term prosperity.
• Today’s MOU calls for the new pipelines to be built using Ontario steel along a route that will connect western Canadian oil and gas to new and existing refineries in southern Ontario, as well as a new deep-sea port in James Bay.
• The MOU also calls for new rail lines, also built using Ontario steel, to connect critical mineral deposits located in Ontario’s Ring of Fire region to ports in Western Canada.
• This agreement is the latest step our government is taking to protect Ontario workers and unlock the enormous potential of true free trade across Canada, which will lower costs for families and add up to $200 billion to our national GDP.
• Through the Protect Ontario Through Free Trade Within Canada Act and a growing number of signed MOUs, we’re building a more competitive, more resilient, and more self-sufficient economy that can withstand the impact of U.S. tariffs and any other challenges that may come.
