Or should it kill the pipeline expansion now and say this was a bargain gone bad. The idea that the Trans Mountain expansion would open new markets in Asia is illusory. Transport costs via the Trans Mountain line and tankers will be at least $2 a barrel higher to Asia. So the premise behind the Trans Mountain pipeline is faulty. The Trudeau government got a special exemption in the new NAFTA (USMCA) to enable it to subsidize the Trans Mountain pipeline.
