Prompt: Should the National Energy Board (NEB) approve the application submitted by TransCanada

Oil Pipelines (Canada) Ltd. for the proposed Energy East project? If approved, the project would create

thousands of jobs across Canada, including 2,000 construction jobs in the province of New Brunswick,

where current unemployment stands at 11%. It would also result in an estimated $950 million savings

in transmission costs for TransCanada in the first 15 years following completion. Along with the Prime

Minister of Canada, the premiers of Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario, and New  Brunswick have all

voiced support for the proposal. 
Opposition to the proposed pipeline, however, is fierce. While some stakeholders are concerned by the

risks involved in retrofitting 3,000 km of 55-year-old natural gas pipeline to carry crude oil, others

worry that the project will interrupt or jeopardize the supply of natural gas to central and eastern

Ontario. Environmental concerns about transporting the dirtiest form of oil across most of Canada

prompt others to object in principle to any pipeline of this nature.
