That’s in addition to the 156 conditions it had proposed in its earlier recommendation
The National Energy Board has recommended, once again, that the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion be approved for construction.
The NEB is recommending the project be approved subject to 16 new recommendations, in addition to the 156 conditions it had proposed in its previous recommendation. The report goes to the federal government to make the final decision on construction.
“The NEB listened to a range of diverse views and carefully considered all of the evidence submitted, the results of which are reflected in the conclusions, conditions and recommendations presented in the report,” NEB chief environment officer Robert Steedman said in the release.
“The report recommends on overall sections that the project is in the national interest and should be approved,” Steedman said.
