TRUDEAU: QUASHING TRANS MTN IS A STEP FORWARD

 Edmonton Journal:  Last week, Notley spelled out three demands in light of the unexpected delay — an immediate appeal of the court ruling to the Supreme Court, a recall of Parliament to address the issue and better consultation with Indigenous groups.
On Wednesday, Trudeau didn’t specify whether Ottawa would accede to those demands and said his government is considering its options, including legislation and an appeal.
“We are also looking at what it would take to actually go through the steps that the court has laid out,” he told reporters at a morning news conference at NAIT.
“I understand how, after difficult years because of oil prices and the beginning of optimism about getting this important pipeline expansion built, this really hurt.”
