“As an Alberta Senator – my views are not just Alberta centric. The Government spent $4.5 Billion tax dollars to buy the pipeline – not me nor Albertans on their own.”

— Senator Doug Black

“If the Government saw the purchase of Trans Mountain as strategic to the nation, and now we seek the Government’s stewardship to ensure the project is completed.”
