Fine with me.
But I would like to see two other pipeline policies.
First, pipe capacity to enable eastern Canada to stop importing oil from overseas.
Second, trans mountain pipe capacity and a tanker port like Karg Island sufficient to enable Canada to materially increase exports oil and gas by sea.
The first so that the petrol that I burn in my car would be produced from Alberta crude instead of overseas crude.
The second as a hedge so that we can divert our exports to the Pacific Rim in the event that the Democrats win in November and carry out their plan to uniaterally "renegotiate" NAFTA.
A unilateral "renegotiation" is just a euphamism for abrogating it. This would discharge Canada from performance of it and free us to sell our oil and gas to the highest bidder without regard to the constraints contained in NAFTA.
Not much happened.
