Senators weighing limits on Liberal tanker ban; government ‘amenable’ to changes to C-69, says Sen. Simons

Bill C-48 would ‘basically trap Alberta oil,’ says Independent Alberta Senator Paula Simons.

Conservative Senator Pierre-Hugues Boisvenu, left, and Independent Senator Paula Simons both say they have concerns about the oil tanker ban for B.C.'s northern coast imposed by Bill C-48. Both are members of the Senate Transport Committee, which is currently reviewing the bill. Conservative Senator David Tkachuk is the committee chair.
