Premier-designate Jason Kenney says he's on board with the federal government's decision to extend its own deadline for a final decision on the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project. Speaking at Government House in Edmonton, where he met with Premier Rachel Notley to discuss the transition of power, Kenney said Prime Minister Justin Trudeau informed him of the delay when they spoke by phone on Wednesday. And we will continue on our part to build an alliance across the country that supports TMX and other pipelines. At her own news conference Thursday, Notley called the delay "disappointing." has "doubled-down" on its support for Bill C-48, a federal government bill that would ban oil tankers from docking along B.C.
