CBC News - North - Mackenzie pipeline hearings set for April
This, of course, is a matter of form; we've known for years that the JRP decision would be followed by a final round of hearings by the National Energy Board. This round will allow for some "final arguments", and will ultimately approve or deny the project.
The NEB hearings are not a rubber-stamp, nor are they meant to be as comprehensive as the near-4-year Joint Review Panel hearings. They are meant to be a final stage for representatives of major stakeholders to promote their various points of view for the NEB's consideration.
These hearings will finish on time, and their report will be on time. Nothing to worry about here.
