Chief political correspondent Rosemary Barton and this week's Sunday Scrum, with Charelle Evelyn, managing editor of the Hill Times, Toronto Star political reporter Ryan Tumilty and Globe and Mail columnist Gary Mason, discuss the expected memorandum of understanding between the federal government and Alberta for a new oil pipeline. Plus, former Alberta premier Jason Kenney talks about what benefits the pipeline could bring for the province, and Marilyn Slett, president of the Coastal First Nations-Great Bear Initiative and the elected chief of the Heiltsuk Nation, explains why the project is a ‘non-starter’ for her community. Dennis McConaghy, a former energy executive at TransCanada Corp., also discusses the economic viability of a new pipeline and why he is skeptical it will get across the finish line. 00:00 Sunday Scrum 10:25 Jason Kenney, former Alberta premier 17:05 Marilyn Slett, Coastal First Nations-Great Bear Initiative Chief president 22:09 Dennis McConaghy, former TransCanada Corp. executive For breaking news, video, audio and in-depth coverage: https://www.cbc.ca/news Follow CBC News on TikTok:   / cbcnews   Subscribe to CBC News on Snapchat: https://bit.ly/3leaWsr Download the CBC News app for iOS: http://apple.co/25mpsUz Download the CBC News app for Android: http://bit.ly/1XxuozZ »»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»» For more than 80 years, CBC News has been the source Canadians turn to, to keep them informed about their communities, their country and their world.
