The same well-funded and organized groups ... will stand in opposition to future major infrastructure projects, especially oil and gas
Energy Minister Sonya Savage today issued the
following statement regarding the Supreme Court of Canada’s decision on the
Trans Mountain expansion:
Today’s decision by the Supreme Court of
Canada further clears the way for the completion of the Trans Mountain pipeline
expansion project.
All five applications that were previously
dismissed by the Federal Court of Appeal in 2019 have been denied the right to
appeal.
However, the illegal protests and blockades
occurring across the country in recent weeks continue to be of concern.
The same well-funded
and organized groups involved with the protest camps, sabotaging of public
infrastructure, and the shutdown of Canada’s railway will stand in opposition
to future major infrastructure projects – especially oil and gas.
This type of unrest has serious ramifications
on not just Alberta’s economy, but all of Canada’s. These protestors do not
speak on behalf of First Nations, but actually stand in the way of First
Nations becoming true partners in prosperity.
The rule of law must be maintained so that
these projects can be completed on time and on schedule.
