\n
Despite lots of bluster, no one from Laval\u2014environmentalists, municipal government or aspiring election candidates\u2014has intervened in the approval process for the pipeline that runs through the city.<\/p>\n

Enbridge Pipelines wants to reverse the flow in its 40-year-old viaduct to move crude from Western Canada to Montreal. At the moment, a lack of sufficient pipeline capacity has forced producers to ship oil via other, riskier means of transportation such as rail.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, Enbridge made a two-and-a-half hour presentation to three federal government appointed panelists at National Energy Board (NEB), kicking off hearings that began, Oct. 8, at the Palais des congr\u00e8s<\/i> in Old Montreal.<\/p>\n

According to NEB’s Calgary-based spokeswoman Carole L\u00e9ger-Kubeczek, the Montreal hearings, which are slated to continue until Friday are for final oral presentations only.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe intervenors will be giving their final arguments,\u201d she told The Suburban<\/i> in an interview. \u201cLaval is not slated to intervene.\u201d<\/p>\n

L\u00e9ger-Kubeczek explained that the written portion of the public intervention process wrapped up some time ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is when you get the exchanges of information,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

She confirmed that Laval did not intervene at any point, effectively acquiescing to Enbridge’s proposal.<\/p>\n

When this week’s edition of The Suburban<\/i> went to press, eighteen other individuals and organizations were slated to appear this week, to present final arguments in favour of or against the pipeline reversal.<\/p>\n

They include, in alphabetic order: Association Industrielle de l’Est de Montr\u00e9al, Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers, Cath\u00e9rine Doucet, Conseil du Patronat du Qu\u00e9bec, Equiterre (Coalition), F\u00e9d\u00e9ration des chambres de commerce du Qu\u00e9bec, Union des Producteurs Agricoles, Manufacturiers et exportateurs du Qu\u00e9bec, Mowhawk Council of Kahnaw\u00e4ke, Vaudreuil-Soulanges, Rigaud, Sainte Justine de Newton, Tr\u00e8s Saint R\u00e9dempteur, Ontario Pipeline Probe, Strat\u00e9gies \u00c9nerg\u00e9tiques, Suncor, Valero Energy and Sainte Anne des Plaines.<\/p>\n

After the Montreal hearings wrap up, Oct. 11, the panel will head down Highway 401, where it expects to hear another 21 presentations at the Toronto Convention Centre next week.<\/p>\n

\u201cUsually it can take up to three months after the close of final arguments to assess all the information and render a decision,\u201d L\u00e9ger-Kubeczek added. \u201cThat would likely be sometime early in the new year.\u201d <\/p><\/div>\n
