Trans Mountain criticizes interveners in reply argument to NEB

VANCOUVER (NEWS 1130) – Trans Mountain says some interveners broke the National Energy Board‘s rules when they presented oral arguments at recent hearings on the proposed pipeline expansion.

The company has filed its written reply argument, triggering the close of the record in the often-contentious energy board proceeding into the project.

The argument is Trans Mountain’s response to written and oral arguments delivered by interveners at recent hearings in Calgary and Vancouver.

It says some groups repeated evidence as argument, in some cases verbatim, while others attempted to introduce new evidence.

The company asks the board to disregard what it considers wrongfully introduced new material while preparing its recommendation, to be delivered to the federal government by May.

Ottawa has announced a four-month extension to the time limit for its decision on the project, with an announcement expected in December.
