Delegates of the Parti Québécois rejected a proposal that would have categorically opposed new oil and gas pipelines, signaling that a PQ-led provincial government might evaluate such projects on a case-by-case basis instead of applying a blanket ban. The shift reduces some perceived regulatory risk for pipeline and upstream developers targeting Quebec, against a broader backdrop of North American supply-demand dynamics that continue to influence Natural Gas benchmarks.
