Three environmental groups are calling on the B.C. Liberals to return hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations from Kinder Morgan and groups and companies they say have a stake in the Trans Mountain pipeline.
The Dogwood Initiative, Stand.earth and Leadnow said Tuesday the B.C. Liberals have received “at least” $771,168 from Kinder Morgan, “its shippers and allied pipeline and petroleum associations.”
“These donations call into doubt the ability of the Government of B.C. to regulate this project in the best interests of British Columbians,” the groups said Tuesday in an open letter to Premier Christy Clark.
“Once this money has been removed from the equation, we further ask that the B.C. government complete a new environmental assessment of this pipeline proposal the public can trust.”
