“Due to an unintentional oversight, wetland capping was no longer an option,” he said in a statement emailed to CBC News Friday evening.

Canada Welcomes Anticipated Construction of One of the World’s Cleanest LNG Facilities – Canada.ca
August 9, 2019 – Ottawa, Ontario – Department of Finance Canada
In a world increasingly seeking clean, affordable and reliable energy
sources, Canada is positioned to become a supplier of choice—creating
good, well-paying jobs for Canadian workers in the process.
Today, Finance Minister Bill Morneau welcomed Woodfibre LNG’s
announcement that it has placed an order for a cryogenic heat exchanger –
a critical next step in the construction of its liquefied natural gas
(LNG) project near Squamish, British Columbia. The company’s final
investment decision, which will allow construction to proceed, is
expected before the end of the summer. This project will create more
than 650 jobs during construction, with more than a 100 of those jobs
continuing once the project is operational. It will also provide
significant economic opportunities for local Indigenous communities and
contribute to the area’s long-term economic growth.
Activist groups urge insurers to drop coverage of oil sands pipeline
Pressure
is growing for financial companies to pull back from insuring and
investing in polluting industries like coal and oil as part of an effort
to combat climate change.
The coalition sent a letter to 27 companies registered to insure the pipeline, including Munich RE [MUVGGR.UL], Talanx (TLXGn.DE) and Zurich Insurance Group AG (ZURN.S), asking them to drop their coverage before Aug. 31, the deadline for Canada to renew its liability insurance.
The groups said they hope the pressure “will show the Canadian government that the expansion is uninsurable.”
“The
Trans Mountain Expansion Project presents a real economic opportunity
for Canadians and for Indigenous communities,” Morneau said in a
statement.
“With the approval of the project, we can begin
discussions with the many communities that may be interested in becoming
partners in getting Canada’s natural resources to market. Our
government looks forward to moving the project forward in a way that
reflects our commitment to reconciliation.”
