Petition to the Government of Canada
- The Trans Mountain Expansion was recommended by the National Energy Board and approved by the federal Liberal government on November 29, 2016;
- The National Energy Board’s original evaluation between 2013 and 2016, and the Liberal initiated reconsideration that finished on February 22, 2019, both resulted in a recommendation for approval, and both confirmed through an independent, expert, evidence and science-based review that, with the recommended mitigation measures, the Trans Mountain Expansion is in the national interest of Canada;
- The majority of Canadians, British Columbians, and Indigenous communities directly impacted, support the completion of the Trans Mountain Expansion;
- The Trans Mountain Expansion will inject billions of dollars into the Canadian economy and create tens of thousands of direct and indirect jobs;
- This project continues to face ongoing delays and threats from other levels of government and anti-energy activists, harming confidence in Canada as a place for investment and the construction of major infrastructure projects;
- The Liberal government spent $4.4 billion tax dollars to purchase the existing pipeline with the promise that the Trans Mountain Expansion will be built; and,
- The federal Liberal Cabinet will decide by June 18, 2019, whether to accept the National Energy Board’s recommendation to approve the Trans Mountain Expansion.
