Kenney would consider trade complaint if Biden quashes Keystone XL
Alberta Premier Jason Kenney says he would consider filing a complaint under international trade law if Joe Biden wins the U.S. election and rips up the Keystone XL pipeline permits.
“Stopping Keystone was the right decision then and it’s still the right decision now. In fact, it’s even more important today,” Biden’s policy director Stef Feldman said in a written statement, first reported by Politico on Monday. If Biden is elected, Kenney said he wants to take time during the transition to present the work that has been created on the ground.
In 2016, Calgary’s TC Energy — then known as TransCanada Corp. — filed a complaint under the old North American Free Trade Agreement’s Chapter 11 which established a mechanism for the settlement of investor-state disputes. That complaint was withdrawn a year later after President Donald Trump indicated he would approve the plan.
