The Canadian PressCALGARY, ALTA. – The Trans Mountain oil pipeline expansion project has run into another construction-related hurdle that could delay its completion.
But the filing documents illustrate how the company is facing opposition from the Stk’emlupsemc te Secwepemc Nation, whose traditional territory the pipeline crosses and who had agreed to the originally proposed route and construction method. It also warns of costs and impacts to “various third parties who are relying on the timely completion” of the project.
However, the project has been plagued by difficulties. The pipeline was bought by the federal government for $4.5 billion in 2018 after previous owner Kinder Morgan Canada Inc. threatened to scrap the pipeline’s planned expansion project in the face of environmentalist opposition. “I’m very excited and interested that there are so many Indigenous groups interested in purchasing the TMX pipeline,” Trudeau told reporters in Charlottetown.

Canada PM Trudeau says Trans Mountain investment remains solidCanadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Wednesday he was confident the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion was a solid investment and that interest is high among Indigenous groups who want to buy a share of the pipeline. The Trans Mountain Expansion (TMX) is expected to nearly triple the flow of crude from Alberta's oil sands to Burnaby, British Columbia, and is intended to unlock Asian markets for Canadian oil, which is now mostly exported to the United States. The Canadian government bought the pipeline for C$4.5 billion ($3.3 billion) in 2018 to make sure the project was completed after it ran into challenges, including opposition from Indigenous peoples and environmentalists.
