Motz says Liberals need to show leadership on Trans Mountain project
MEDICINE HAT, AB — Medicine Hat’s Member of Parliament says the recent decision by Kinder Morgan to suspend non-essential work on the site of the Trans Mountain Pipeline project can be blamed on the Liberal government.
“To me, and I think Canadians will recognize this very, very quickly, the blame for this lies squarely on the shoulders of Justin Trudeau and his Liberal government,” he said. “They have given us nothing but empty words, hollow promises and have taken no actions.”
On Sunday afternoon, Kinder Morgan suspended non-essential work and spending on the project, citing the British Columbia government’s ongoing opposition and legal challenges against the project. Kinder Morgan has also set a May 31 deadline for an agreement that would ensure the project would proceed.
