Notley’s 19: Alberta premier puts task force to work in B.C. in pipeline fight
EDMONTON — Alberta Premier Rachel Notley put her 19-member task force to work Wednesday, tasked with continuing to take the fight to B.C. over the Trans Mountain oil pipeline.
“We’re going to keep the pressure on,” Notley told reporters prior to convening the group’s first meeting, in the cabinet room at the legislature.
“These folks on our task force have deep connections across the country — industry, investors, academics, the legal community (and) all levels of government.
“I’m going to be looking to this task force … to provide additional legal and strategic advice to make sure we can end the delays, end the games and get the Trans Mountain pipeline built.”
