B.C. questions shut down at Gateway pipeline hearing

CBC News Posted: Sep 7, 2012

The B. C. government’s cross-examination of Enbridge at the Northern Gateway Pipeline review got off to a rough start in Edmonton yesterday when the province’s lawyer got shut down moments into her questioning.

On Thursday, lawyer Elisabeth Graff was asking Northern Gateway president John Carruthers about the insurance for oil spill disasters when panel chair Sheila Leggett intervened.

Leggett reminded Graff that the Edmonton hearings are to focus on the economic impacts of the project and that disaster preparedness is being dealt with at upcoming hearings in B.C.

Graff said there had been consultation with Enbridge on the topics to be covered and that any overlap with other hearings would be minimal.
