Premier Rachel Notley spoke yesterday in defence of the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project.

Notley鶹ýӳs six page submission to the NEB says the economic need and benefits of the project are 鶹ýӳclear, substantial and undeniable.鶹ýӳ

She said: 鶹ýӳI am going to keep talking until the door is closed.鶹ýӳ

Notley noted a lack of pipelines to provide access to international markets results in a 鶹ýӳsignificant discount鶹ýӳ in the value of Alberta鶹ýӳs energy products.

BC formally registered its opposition to the CAN$6.8 billion project on Monday.

Notley stated: 鶹ýӳWe will get pipelines built by demonstrating clearly and calmly why pipelines help every economy in this country. And we will get pipelines built by taking real action on climate change.鶹ýӳ

She said pipeline opponents must realise Canada has a significant economic resource in Alberta.

鶹ýӳYou can鶹ýӳt just turn off the tap and walk away from it.鶹ýӳ

Premier Notley said in her letter the board should accommodate concerns, but should 鶹ýӳrecommend approval of the project on the current timelines in order to ensure a timely final approval.

鶹ýӳThis will allow the proponents to address those concerns and to commence building this important energy infrastructure.鶹ýӳ
