Alberta premier says Trans Mountain pipeline expansion approval ‘isn’t a victory to celebrate’

Alberta Premier Jason Kenney says while he is pleased with the federal government’s re-approval of the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project, it “isn’t a victory to celebrate.”

The federal government announced its decision to reapprove the contentious project on Tuesday afternoon, nine months after the Federal Court of Appeal ripped up the original federal approval, citing incomplete Indigenous consultations and a faulty environmental review.

On Tuesday afternoon, Kenney said the approval doesn’t mean construction or completion of the pipeline, and he will continue to push to get the expansion built.
