EDMONTON – Alberta Premier Rachel Notley says the province is still out of the federal government’s climate change accord despite Ottawa’s plans to get the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion approved.
The federal government has given the National Energy Board less than six months to redo its environmental review of the pipeline and examine the impact of additional oil tanker traffic off the coast of British Columbia.
Notley pulled out of the federal climate change plan, which mandates putting a price on carbon emissions, after the Federal Court of Appeal overturned approval of the expansion project.
She says the province won’t rejoin the plan until the pipeline is approved.
