B.C. trying to obstruct Trans Mountain pipeline with “Trojan Horse” legislation: Federal Government

Mar 21, 2019 | 9:09 AM

The federal government says B-C is trying to obstruct the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion with “Trojan Horse” legislation that the province is passing off as a benign environmental measure.

Lawyer Jan Brongers asked the B-C Court of Appeal yesterday to reject proposed amendments to B-C’s Environmental Management Act.

He says the changes aim to regulate interprovincial oil projects that fall under federal jurisdiction.
