Canada’s energy regulator approves a settlement between Trans Mountain Corp. and companies that ship oil on the Alberta-to-British Columbia pipeline, according to multiple reports. The decision resolves a dispute over the pipeline’s tolls that had been before the Canada Energy Regulator.
The outlets also note that the matter had discouraged shippers from using Canada’s only major east-west oil pipeline. They say the toll dispute has had broader implications for federal policy, including plans connected to the government’s efforts to sell the pipeline. One report characterizes the regulator’s ruling as a finding that the tolls are reasonable, while another focuses on the settlement approval itself, reflecting different emphasis on the merits versus the procedural outcome.
