On BIV Today....

If there was one issue that could unite the left, right and centre, it appears Ottawa has found it by nationalizing Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline. Greg D’Avignon (1:36), CEO of the Business Council of B.C., explains how this $4.5-billion sale exposes Canada as a country too costly and too complex in which to do business.
