Pipeline Success: Getting to Yes Takes a Willingness to Listen and Learn
Ian Anderson
Moderator: Bill Good
With conditional approval from the National Energy Board and a final decision by the Government of Canada on the near horizon, Trans Mountain has made its case for twinning its pipeline system with both the regulator and the public.
Access to global markets will unlock significant economic benefits locally and for Canada, but pipeline permission is about more than demonstrating a strong business case.
Ian Anderson, President of Kinder Morgan Canada will talk about industry's role in providing decision-makers the ability to "get to yes" by embracing changing public values and expectations. He'll reflect on how his company's approach of listening and learning has laid the foundation for Trans Mountain to build and operate its expansion in consideration of the many and varied interests of Canadians.
