Montréal still asking for review of Enbridge pipeline

The city of Montréal is still waiting on answers about a controversial pipeline project.

The project by Enbridge Inc. is a pipeline which extends six hundred thirty nine kilometers from Montréal East to Westover, Ontario. It crosses the Ottawa and Mille-Îles rivers.

Enbridge is being pressured by environmental and citizen groups to reveal its plans regarding risks along the pipeline and emergency response plans.

Josée Duplessis of the Montréal executive committee is also part of those opposing the pipeline. She said the city's main concern is the citizens' water supply, which could be in danger of contamination if an oil spill occurs near the rivers. Duplessis also questioned Enbridge about whether their plan would be economically beneficial to the city. 

Enbridge is currently doing preventative maintenance work along the entire length of the pipeline. 

The details of the environmental study should be made public in the coming weeks.
