Jason Kenney Reacts to Trans Mountain Expansion Approval
Alberta Premier Jason Kenney and Energy Minister Sonya Savage speak with reporters in Edmonton about the federal cabinet's decision to approve the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project for a second time. 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.
