The National Energy Board will launch a tour early next year in an effort to strengthen pipeline safety.
Peter Watson, the federal regulatory agency’s chairman, said Tuesday board members and staff will visit every province and the North to hear Canadians’ views on how it can improve its pipeline safety program and they will issue a report by early 2016.
The Trans Mountain pipeline expansion proposal has triggered protests from several groups, including Burnaby Residents Opposed to Kinder Morgan Expansion, or BROKE.
