Reaction to the Federal Court of Appeal decision on the Trans Mountain pipeline
VANCOUVER — The Federal Court of Appeal has overturned Ottawa’s approval of the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion. Here’s what some are saying about the court decision:
“As we move ahead with the project and the purchase, our government remains committed to ensuring the project proceeds in a manner that protects the public interest. That means ensuring the highest level over governance — including environmental protection. It means upholding or commitments with Indigenous peoples and it means responsibly protecting Canada’s and Canadians’ investment.” — Finance Minister Bill Morneau.

“Here we are, well into this process, and the Trudeau government has no plan whatsoever to get Trans Mountain built.” — Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer.
