Kinder Morgan pipeline review by NEB loses 35 participants over ‘flawed’ process<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

‘We can’t abide by the system any more. It’s too flawed,’ says former participant<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dozens of participants have dropped out of the\u00a0controversial National Energy Board review of\u00a0Kinder Morgan’s\u00a0proposed Trans Mountain pipeline expansion<\/a>, saying they can no\u00a0longer support a “biased” and “unfair” process.<\/p>\n

Thirty-five commenters and interveners, including the Wilderness\u00a0Committee and the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society, sent a\u00a0letter to the board Wednesday announcing their immediate withdrawal.<\/p>\n

“It’s a sad day. We do not like to fly in the face of regulatory\u00a0processes,” said Wilderness Committee climate campaigner Eoin\u00a0Madden in a phone interview. “But we can’t abide by the system any\u00a0more. It’s too flawed.”<\/p>\n
