Canada鶹ýӳs chief energy regulator said yesterday that a municipality along the route of a crude-oil pipeline can鶹ýӳt stop an affiliate of Kinder Morgan Energy Partners L.P. from accessing areas for a proposed expansion.

The NEB said the municipality of Burnaby, a suburb of Vancouver, must allow Kinder Morgan Canada to access a proposed route for expanding its Trans Mountain pipeline, which connects Alberta鶹ýӳs oilsands to the Pacific Coast.

鶹ýӳThe order prevents the City of Burnaby from blocking Trans Mountain from carrying out the required surveys and technical studies,鶹ýӳ the NEB said in a statement. 鶹ýӳThe Board also ruled that it has the legal authority to consider constitutional questions relating to its own jurisdiction.鶹ýӳ

In related news, elections BC says Kinder Morgan does not need to register as a third-party advertiser in the province鶹ýӳs civic election campaign.

A Vancouver-area member of Parliament asked Elections BC look into the issue, saying Kinder Morgan is running advertisements about the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion during the municipal election period.

Burnaby-Douglas New Democrat MP Kennedy Stewart said the pipeline proposal is a key campaign issue for several municipalities and he described Kinder Morgan鶹ýӳs adverts as an attempt to sway voters.

However Jodi Cook, Elections BC manager of provincial electoral finance, said in a letter that Kinder Morgan鶹ýӳs advertising doesn鶹ýӳt meet the definition of election advertising.
