The Financial Post reports in its Wednesday, June 12, edition that Ottawa believes British Columbia "could change its mind" on Enbridge's Northern Gateway pipeline project. The Post's Yadullah Hussain writes that Minister of Natural Resources Joe Oliver says: "I have spoken to Rich Coleman, [B.C.'s new minister of natural gas], and have listened to what was said. ... What they basically did was reiterate the five conditions. In the context of the way the project would be constructed, they believe it does not meet their criteria. However, they have left open the possibility that if it does meet their standards, they could change their mind." B.C. officially opposed Gateway at the end of May in a submission to a review panel. Mr. Oliver says Ottawa is helping B.C. meet the five criteria set out by the province as part of its jurisdictional duty to the process. "We are focusing on making sure pipeline safety is world class, maritime safety is world class, and that we have robust consultation process with aboriginals to maximize their benefit from resource development." However, an internal government audit report gave a scathing review of the Canadian Coast Guard's capacity to monitor and manage marine oil spills.
