Raincoast v. Enbridge - In Court Today

Raincoast in Court Today

Raincoast and our partners, represented by Ecojustice, are in court today making the case for why the federal government’s approval of Enbridge’s Northern Gateway pipeline should be revoked. Our lawyers are arguing that the decision to approve the project was flawed in three broad areas:

2. It failed to properly assess how bitumen reacts in the marine environment,
