Over the past few months, I have been contacting residents across Burnaby-Douglas to ask about their thoughts on Kinder Morgan's plan to double the Trans Mountain pipeline.  I had a tremendous response with almost 5 000 people taking part in my survey.

For those of you not aware, the Kinder Morgan company currently runs a pipeline from Alberta to Burnaby.  It ships 300 000 barrels of oil per day.  Oil from this pipeline is either refined here in Burnaby, or sent overseas or to the United States for refining.  Kinder Morgan is currently looking at plans to double this pipeline.

Through my survey, I found that of Burnaby residents with an opinion, 72% are opposed to the pipeline expansion.  This clearly indicates the need for both Kinder Morgan and the Government to conduct extensive consultation with Burnaby residents.

I will continue to push for more consultation and work to ensure the voice of Burnaby residents is heard.
