Danielle Smith says Trans Mountain expansion not enough, Canada needs new oil pipelines

Trans Mountain Corp.’s plans to boost capacity of the oil pipeline system is not enough to satisfy Alberta, nor are they enough of an incentive for it to sign onto any energy accord with Ottawa, Premier Danielle Smith said Thursday.

Ms. Smith’s comments follow a Globe and Mail report that said B.C. is prepared to support increased capacity for the Trans Mountain pipeline. She also said that Canada needs to build new pipelines and expand existing ones in all directions.
