Canada’s justice minister says Ottawa is going to intervene in British Columbia’s court case over the 7.4-billion-dollar Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project. The federal government supports the expansion of the pipeline, which would carry diluted bitumen from Alberta to the B-C coast, for export to overseas markets. British Columbia’s government has vowed to fight the expansion and has put a jurisdictional question before the courts, asking whether it has the authority to regulate the transport of heavy oil in the province. Justice Minister Judy Wilson-Raybould says she’s confident that Parliament has the jurisdiction to approve the project, and that Ottawa will prevail.
