Kinder Morgan’s plans to expand its Trans Mountain pipeline will be the focus of a motion set to come before Vancouver city council next week.
The motion is being tabled by Green Councillor Adriane Carr.
“A motion directly from council, which hasn’t happened before to Kinder Morgan the company, to make sure that they’re clear that we want to be informed of their plans, and my understanding is that that would actually increase the obligation of the national energy board, to ensure that there will be public hearings in Vancouver, should any application come forward from Kinder Morgan.”
The current pipeline connects the Alberta tarsands and Kinder Morgan’s Burnaby terminal, carrying as many as 300,000 barrels of oil a day.
