The federal government can't guarantee it will have a decision on the proposed Trans Mountain pipeline expansion prior to the next election, Natural Resources Minister Amarjeet Sohi said.
The deadline was pushed back to June 18 from May 22 on the recommendation of Indigenous communities and former Supreme Court justice Frank Iacobucci, who is advising the government on the consultation process.
The federal government then purchased the project from Kinder Morgan for $4.5 billion and, earlier this year, the National Energy Board endorsed the pipeline expansion after a reconsideration of its affect on marine life off the B.C. coast. Sohi told reporters at a clean energy announcement in Calgary on Thursday that he doesn't expect the deadline will be pushed back again.
“No, I cannot commit to that because it's not my decision. It's the decision of the cabinet,” he said.
