TransCanada Corp to face just one Energy East injunction

TransCanada CEO Russ Girling. Quebec's environmental review agency is scheduled to begin a second round of public hearings into the Energy East proposal on April 25.

MONTREAL –  TransCanada Corp will need to fight just one injunction request related to its Energy East pipeline project after a court ruling Wednesday.

An environmental law group, acting on behalf of several organizations, was seeking an injunction to make TransCanada to become subject to Quebec’s Environment Quality Act.

But Quebec Superior Court Justice Martin Castonguay ruled the court proceedings can be folded right into a similar court action that has been launched by the Quebec government.

Quebec wants TransCanada to provide a more detailed account of its Energy East proposal, which may create a more complete environmental review process compared to one currently happening.

TransCanada lawyer Robert Torralbo argued it had been as much as Quebec’s attorney general to inquire about the courts to make a business to respect legislation which citizens cannot make such a demand unless the federal government will not do so.
