Can someone please explain what ‘national interest’ means?
KAMLOOPS — Can someone please provide a clear definition of “the national interest” when it comes to pipelines?
I ask this in the wake of Sunday’s meeting in Ottawa between Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the premiers of B.C. and Alberta, which found no common ground on Trans Mountain.
Trudeau re-iterates that the project is “in the national interest,” Rachel Notley insists it must be built, and John Horgan says it should be decided in the courts.
