* Alberta's premier says Kinder Morgan pipeline may need new terminal in Delta

Alberta Premier Rachel Notley says Kinder Morgan Inc. may need to move the proposed terminal for the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion to win support for the project.

Speaking at a Bloomberg Live conference in New York, Bloomberg reported Wednesday that Notley said it could be better if the terminal were shifted further south rather than following the current pipeline’s route through Burnaby in British Columbia’s lower mainland.

Notley said a port near the Tsawwassen ferry terminal in Delta, B.C., could be a possibility, a suggestion that Vicki Huntington, the independent MLA for Delta South, rejected in a statement.

“It is unfortunate that Premier Notley has made such an ill-considered statement. Delta’s foreshore is a completely inappropriate location for the Kinder Morgan terminus, and would put the most valuable ecological habitat in Canada at risk,” said Huntington.
