Pipeline purchase no surprise to Jim Carr
Natural Resources Minister Jim Carr said he anticipated the federal government would likely buy the Trans Mountain pipeline after Kinder Morgan paused the project on April 8. He described secret negotiations led by Finance Minister Bill Morneau and a brief team, and noted frequent meetings between Kinder Morgan executives and Canadian officials before the final decision. The expansion would parallel the existing 1150 km line from Edmonton to Burnaby and nearly triple capacity to 890000 barrels per day, aiming to ship Alberta crude to Asia.
