A National Energy Board panel has postponed hearings that were supposed to begin next week into Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline expansion, because a consultant who prepared evidence in favour of the project will soon work for the regulator.
Kinder Morgan Canada, the company behind the project, filed evidence with the board in late 2013 that was prepared by Steven Kelly, a consultant with IHS Global Canada at the time. The report supported the project’s economic benefits.
In July, federal Natural Resources Minister Greg Rickford announced Kelly had been appointed to a seven-year term on the National Energy Board starting Oct. 13.
