Vivek Warrier comments in Canadian Lawyer on the British Columbia Court of Appeal's ruling that the province’s attempt to regulate bitumen is unconstitutional.

The decision is an important development for the Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion (TMX) project, which would have been singled out and halted by the new legislation.

Vivek Warrier says that while there was an ‘audible cheer’ in Alberta after the decision, it is still very difficult to point to a timeline for the pipeline and it's worth reiterating that there remains a ways to go.
