Trudeau didn't mis-speak, rather he let the mask slip and expressed his deeply held convictions with respect to the energy industry. He DOES want to see fossil fuels phased out, but not for the reason he states - climate change- rather the fact that the West holds the nexus of power until such time as they ARE phased out..

The reality is that the two pipeline approvals were made to a) prop up RN's social license narrative in an attempt to overcome strong resistance to carbon taxes and b) pump up his own  persona, ostensibly  as a "nation-builder". 

A nation builder would put his support behind a pipeline that would truly diversify the markets we can sell into - but as early as June 2014 he stated unequivocally that he would quash the Northern Gateway project, should he be elected.. So the bogus talk about new rigor, the  "science" and "consultation" around pipeline reviews/approvals is simply that -passive aggressive posturing

His version of "Just watch me"
