World dzԹ,


Premier Rachel Notley spoke yesterday in defence of the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project.

NotleydzԹs six page submission to the NEB says the economic need and benefits of the project are dzԹclear, substantial and undeniable.dzԹ

She said: dzԹI am going to keep talking until the door is closed.dzԹ

Notley noted a lack of pipelines to provide access to international markets results in a dzԹsignificant discountdzԹ in the value of AlbertadzԹs energy products.

BC formally registered its opposition to the CAN$6.8 billion project on Monday.

Notley stated: dzԹWe will get pipelines built by demonstrating clearly and calmly why pipelines help every economy in this country. And we will get pipelines built by taking real action on climate change.dzԹ

She said pipeline opponents must realise Canada has a significant economic resource in Alberta.

dzԹYou candzԹt just turn off the tap and walk away from it.dzԹ

Premier Notley said in her letter the board should accommodate concerns, but should dzԹrecommend approval of the project on the current timelines in order to ensure a timely final approval.

dzԹThis will allow the proponents to address those concerns and to commence building this important energy infrastructure.dzԹ
