Natural Resources Minister Carr kicks off pipeline sales mission in Calgary
CALGARY — Federal Natural Resources Minister Jim Carr kicked off his pipeline sales mission on friendly turf Wednesday, addressing Calgary’s Chamber on the importance of the two major projects the Trudeau government approved a day earlier.
“Our announcement on pipelines brings much needed new hope to thousands of hardworking Albertans in the energy sector — a sector that has suffered so much over the past years,” said Carr.
He framed the approval of the Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain and Enbridge (TSX:ENB) Line 3 pipelines as the culmination of a thorough and improved assessment process that heard from more than 35,000 Canadians.
“We set about restoring Canada’s faith in how major resource projects are assessed, because how we got to our recent decisions mattered just as much as the decisions themselves,” he said.
