Last week, Trans Mountain said its pipeline expansion project is on schedule to be done by the end of 2022.
But the environmental non-profit Wilderness Committee says it appears Trans Mountain has missed its window to start key construction work in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia, meaning the project is at risk of at least a two-month delay.
