The premier says the province is not putting all their eggs in one basket. That basket being the west-east pipeline. 
David 
Alward tells Tide News he feels better than he has in many years, 
because that's not the case. He says it's actually diversifying the 
province's opportunities. 
 
He says 
the pipeline would spur additions in refining and the potential for 
petrochemicals. He adds, if we're able to tap into natural gas reserves 
there's even more possibility for development.
