Ontario Launches Feasibility Study to Build East-West Pipeline and Energy Corridor

November 4, 2025

Our government is delivering on our plan to build a more competitive, resilient and self-reliant economy for Ontario and Canada, creating jobs for workers in the face of tariffs from the United States.

This nation-building pipeline and energy corridor would unite our country and help unlock new markets for Canada’s energy resources that will reduce our dependence on the United States, all while creating new jobs and opportunities for Canadian workers from coast to coast to coast.

The new east-west energy corridor would help to protect Ontario’s energy security by ensuring a reliable and uninterrupted supply of oil and gas for Canadian homes and businesses.

The pipelines would be built entirely within Canada using Ontario and Canadian steel, supporting Canadian manufacturing and supply-chains.

Under the leadership of Premier Ford, we are seizing a generational opportunity to bring nation-building infrastructure projects, like the East-West Energy Corridor, to the forefront of our government’s plan to build Ontario.

Now, the Ontario government has awarded a contract to complete a feasibility study to establish this new Canadian east-west pipeline and energy corridor. The study will explore the benefits of building new pipelines with Ontario and Canadian steel to carry Western Canadian oil and gas from Alberta and Saskatchewan to new and established refineries in southern Ontario and new ports on James Bay, Hudson Bay and the Great Lakes.

This transformative project would connect provinces, unlock new export markets and ensure Ontario’s homes and businesses are powered by secure, Canadian-made energy, strengthening our economy for generations to come.
