According to environmental organizations, the NEB’s most recent Trans Mountain pipeline review repeated the same mistakes as the first one.
In a report released on Friday, the National Energy Board re-upped their approval of the expansion project, with 156 extra conditions and 16 recommendations.
But according to a number of the project hearing’s intervenors, the review still failed to check the boxes which got it canned last summer in the first place.
Lynn Perrin, one of the intervenors, says the process refused to assess the pipeline’s effects on salmon.
Wilderness Committee Campaigner Peter McCartney says extending what he cites as the most polluting project in Canada, will only power the climate crisis.
McCartney’s organization refused to take part int he review do to the unreasonable timeline imposed on the Board by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
Meanwhile, environmental proponents are saying Trudeau has no one to blame but himself when further delays come through thanks to the fast-tracked process.
