Notley says she wants progress within days from feds on B.C. pipeline dispute
EDMONTON — Alberta Premier Rachel Notley says she wants progress within days from Ottawa in resolving a pipeline dispute with British Columbia, or her government will look at further retaliatory measures.
Notley, who has already suspended talks to buy B.C. electricity and has banned B.C. wines from Alberta, reiterated Monday that B.C.’s actions on the Trans Mountain pipeline are illegal and must be reversed.
“We do not seek an escalation, but if B.C. continues to insist that they have rights to attack Alberta’s economy that they don’t have, we will have no choice (but) to respond,” said Notley.
“It’s in British Columbia’s power to put this issue to rest.”
