Media Advisory – Competition Bureau to hold technical briefing on its review of Keyera’s proposed acquisition at a critical Canadian energy hub
GATINEAU, QC, May 5, 2026 /CNW/ – Today, the Competition Bureau announced that it has filed an application with the Competition Tribunal challenging Keyera’s proposed acquisition of Plains All American Pipeline LP’s Canadian natural gas liquids business.
Following an extensive investigation, the Bureau concluded that the proposed transaction is likely to harm competition in natural gas liquids processing and storage, particularly at Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta, Canada’s primary hub for these services.
