Enbridge’s Northern Gateway pipeline gets green light from Ottawa (updated) – BiV
Ottawa gave Enbridge Inc. (TSX:ENB) the green light June 17 to build a 1,177 kilometre twin pipeline between Bruderheim Alberta and Kitimat, B.C. But the B.C. government may have a different colour in mind.
“In December 2013, the Joint Review Panel found that construction and operation of the Northern Gateway Pipelines project is in the public interest, subject to 209 conditions being met by the proponent,” Natural Resources Minister Greg Rickford said in a statement.
“After carefully reviewing the report, the government accepts the independent panel’s recommendation to impose 209 conditions on Northern Gateway Pipelines’ proposal.”
But B.C. has its own five conditions, and so far only one has been met – passing an environmental review.
