BC leaders sound off on Kinder Morgan approval
VANCOUVER — Premier Christy Clark says the federal government is close to meeting British Columbia’s five conditions for its approval of the Kinder Morgan pipeline, but with those conditions come about a dozen other sticking points.
“The federal government, through its work as the result of our very hard work over the last four-and-a-half years, has come very very close to making sure they meet the five conditions we set out,” she said Wednesday at a news conference in Vancouver.
Clark said her government is still working with Ottawa on spill response and it wants assurances on jobs and the economic benefits for B.C.
