The head of a Canadian province opposed to a planned pipeline expansion on Sunday met Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for crisis talks and said Trudeau had made clear he would act soon to ensure the project went ahead.
Trudeau had called British Columbia Premier John Horgan to Ottawa for an emergency meeting to tackle an escalating dispute over Kinder Morgan Canada Ltd's plans to almost triple the capacity of its Trans Mountain pipeline.
Horgan said afterwards he had not changed his position that the risks of a spill from the pipeline were too great.
"He (Trudeau) said the federal government will be moving with legislative and financial measures in the days ahead,"Horgan told reporters but did not give details.
Trudeau was not immediately available for comment but is scheduled to speak later Sunday.
Kinder Morgan Canada, part of Kinder Morgan Inc, is threatening to abandon the project unless it receives sufficient clarity about the path ahead on May 31. Alberta Premier Rachel Notley also attended the meeting, which Horgan said was very frank.
