TMX construction in British Columbia.Poscente said that while he hadn’t been expecting good news ahead of the Trans Mountain update, he was caught off guard by the sheer size of the increase. “Does it have negative implications across the board for the project for Indigenous ownership? Yeah, it sure does. It’s absolutely disappointing on all fronts. I’m sure for the TMC team as well.”
Potential returns on Trans Mountain’s expansion were already being squeezed in the last couple of years thanks to increases related to COVID-19 andthat set back construction schedules in 2021 and required significant changes to the project’s scope. It has also been clear for some time that pipeline tolls won’t be sufficient to cover the increased costs.
