Ontario wants cut of Energy East pipeline revenue

摘要

Vancouver—The Ontario government wants a “fair share” of revenues if TransCanada gets approval for its Energy East pipeline from Alberta to Atlantic Canada, echoing a similar stand taken by British Columbia against Enbridge’s Northern Gateway project, Energy Minister Bob Chiarelli said August 22. Unless Ontario makes a strong case, it could end up merely as a conduit for oil on the way to foreign markets via the C$12 billion (US$11.4 billion), 1.1 million b/d pipeline— if TransCanada and Irving Oil include their plans for a C$300 million tanker terminal in Saint John, New Brunswick, he told reporters in a televised news conference.
