Concerns are emerging that the labour market could tighten just as Trans Mountain construction is set to begin.
CALGARY/OTTAWA – A one-month delay by the federal government to decide on the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion will drive up the costs of the project in a tight labour market and at a time when the Canadian oil industry has lost patience with the federal government, industry executives say.
“I agreed with the Prime Minister that they need to make sure that they cross every T and dot every I when it comes to the federal government’s duty to consult,” Kenney said. “We certainly don’t want them to have to go back to the drawing board a third time.” But concerns are emerging that the labour market could tighten just as Trans Mountain construction is set to begin.
One high-level executive at a company building a portion of Trans Mountain said some subcontractors are beginning to second guess their Trans Mountain commitments as a number of other natural gas pipeline projects get underway.
