CALGARY – Alberta Premier Rachel Notley said Wednesday she has very little time for conversations that seek to shut down the oilsands as the provincial government pushes to make sure the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project is built.
Speaking to a room full of oil industry members in Calgary as part of the Global Petroleum Show, Notley said any effective climate plan has to pay attention to working people, adding that her NDP government’s plan does this.
Her comments come as the B.C. NDP, supported by an alliance with the Green party, moves closer to potentially forming the West Coast province’s government and implementing their commitment to stop Kinder Morgan’s pipeline expansion using all means available.
Notley told reporters after her speech that it was too early to speculate on the tactics that might be used by a future B.C. government to hinder the project.
