Jagmeet Singh Reacts to Trans Mountain Expansion Approval
NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh comments in Ottawa on the federal cabinet's decision to approve the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project for a second time. He is joined by NDP deputy leader Alexandre Boulerice, House leader Peter Julian and MP Rachel Blaney. Cabinet originally approved the expansion in 2016 but a federal court ruling overturned that decision in August 2018, citing inadequate environmental reviews and the need for further consultation with Indigenous communities. Meanwhile, in May 2018, with the future of the expansion in doubt, the federal government announced that it would purchase the project from Kinder Morgan Canada for $4.5 billion. (June 18, 2019)
