Cacounca port in Quebec still part of Energy East plan, says pipeline president

The president of the proposed Energy East pipeline continues pitching a Quebec terminal at Cacouna on the St. Lawrence despite being urged by the province's premier to look elsewhere due to concerns over whale habitat. Francois Poirier tells a Canadian Club luncheon in Ottawa the $12-billion, 4,600-kilometre pipeline from Hardisty, Alta., to the Atlantic Ocean will include marine terminals in Cacouna, Que., and Saint John, N.B. TransCanada suspended preparatory work on the Cacouna port last fall after a Quebec Superior Court judge issued an injunction against seismic work in the St. Lawrence estuary to protect threatened beluga calving grounds.
