Doubts on Western Canadian Pipelines Eased As B.C. Incumbent Parly Retains Majority

摘要

The future of two proposed Canadian pipelines that would carry oil from Alberta province's oil sands to the Pacific coast for distribution to U.S. and Asian markets became more certain after British Columbia's incumbent Liberal Party won a parliamentary majority May 14. The Liberal win over the left-leaning New Democratic Party (NDP) in the provincial general election means the proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipeline and the proposed doubling of the Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain pipeline remain on track in assessment and approval processes.
