Supreme Court to overturn an environmental assessment certificate granted earlier this year for Kinder Morgan's $6.8-billion oil pipeline project. The pipeline approval is "tainted by money," the petition says. Trans Mountain and PIPE UP Network did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Six of the 12 companies that signed transportation service agreements with Kinder Morgan related to Trans Mountain donated more than $330,000 to the B.C.
