Looming over the discussions, however, was another major issue — one that Trudeau wouldn’t raise until the very end of his remarks. Most climate policy experts say a low-carbon future that addresses climate change will necessarily mean fewer jobs in fossil fuels, and require what labour leaders describe as a "just transition" for displaced workers to find jobs in emerging industries.

Senior public servants warned the Trudeau government in 2016 that its consultations with First Nations on the Trans Mountain expansion pipeline were “moving fast” — comparing the process to mistakes that led to the failure of another west coast pipeline, says a newly-released internal email.

Trudeau has left Canada for the Summit of Americas in Lima, Peru, but will be returning to Ottawa following that visit to convene a meeting between the B.C. and Alberta premiers on Sunday, April 15, according to the Prime Minister’s Office.

Bill Morneau and other federal ministers have said that all options are on the table to resolve a dispute that threatens to derail Kinder Morgan's Trans Mountain expansion, which would triple the capacity of the Texas company's existing pipeline.

​Alberta Premier Rachel Notley says the province will buy the Trans Mountain oil pipeline project if that's what it takes to get it built.

Disputes over the Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain pipeline should be settled in court, B.C.’s environment minister said Tuesday. “Where there is a dispute, we’re going to court. That’s where disputes should be settled, not by threats, coercion and intimidation,” George Heyman said in an interview.

​Faced with an escalating battle between British Columbia and Alberta as well as a spooked investment community, federal cabinet ministers will gather Tuesday for an emergency meeting in search of a way to convince Kinder Morgan to go forward with its Trans Mountain pipeline expansion.

British Columbia Premier John Horgan showed no signs Monday of backing down on the battle over the Kinder Morgan pipeline, rejecting widespread claims his government's challenge of the $7.4 billion project is hurting the economy and tearing apart the country.

Kinder Morgan has blinked in the face of relentless opposition from British Columbia to its plans to build a major oil pipeline. The Texas multinational energy company announced on Sunday that it was suspending all non-essential spending on its Trans Mountain expansion project, threatening to cancel it if it fails to reach an agreement with B.C. and other stakeholders on how to proceed.

No province has yet shown interest in signing on to the federal government's carbon pricing system instead of creating their own, potentially setting up a log jam for Ottawa to meet its deadline for every province to have a $20 a tonne price on pollution by Jan. 1.

Alberta Premier Rachel Notley says a decision by the City of Burnaby, B.C., to take its fight over the Trans Mountain oil pipeline expansion to the Supreme Court is showboating.
