Federal Court of Appeal to rule on whether to let pipeline challenges proceed | CBC News
Ottawa has twice approved a plan to twin an existing pipeline from Alberta’s oilpatch to the B.C. coast.
Last
year, the Federal Court of Appeal tore up the original approval, citing
both an insufficient environment review and inadequate consultations
with Indigenous communities.
The Liberals say they fixed both problems and approved the expansion a second time in June.
Environment
groups still say there are not adequate protections for endangered
marine species that will be affected by tanker traffic picking up oil
from a terminal in suburban Vancouver.
