OTTAWA - The Federal Court of Appeal has dismissed legal objections to Ottawa’s decision to approve the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion a second time. That means construction can continue on the project, though the First Nations have 60 days to appeal to the Supreme Court. The cabinet originally approved the expansion project, to twin the existing pipeline, in November 2016. “I want to say clearly to those who are disappointed with today’s court decision: we see you and we hear you,” he said. The government intends to finish the expansion and then sell both the existing pipeline and the expansion back to the private sector.
