The Liberals had nothing to do with this. The project was canned because it makes no sense with continuing low oil prices - remember how oil was supposed to get back to at least $60 by two years ago? There was no choice but to can the original NEB review board because it had been having preferential meetings with the oil producers and pipeline guys and their representative, Jean Charest. Replacing some of the environmental assessments axed by Harper had to occur too - the federal government was simply doing what it is supposed to do and let the NEB do its work. This project was killed by financials as there simply isn't enough benefit to outway risks with current oil prices. Trans Mountain may get killed for similar reasons and because of legal challenges, including the federal government violating the Species at Risk Act. Keystone XL might be dead too if prices stay low - is that the Liberals' fault too?!
