The 24 month period would give adequate time for everyone involved to voice their opinions and at the same time give viable projects a real chance to succeed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This, along with the Accelerated Capital Cost Allowance and the extension of export licenses were, unfortunately, not enough to overcome the current market forces and it appears that will not be the only obstacle in front of these types of projects in BC. Based on Premier Horgan&#8217;s comments today his government will not only be increasing the carbon tax but they will also &#8220;employ every tool available&#8221; against the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have a world-class, clean resource in British Columbia and we all look forward to seeing it&#8217;s potential realized, this is what it means to &#8220;defend British Columbia&#8217;s interests&#8221;.
