Allan digs into the details of Kinder Morgan's successive submissions to the National Energy Board (NEB), a disgraced regulatory body "suffering from industry capture and steeped in controversy " that will be abolished once the government's new environmental assessment process becomes law. She pinpoints specific steps in the regulatory review process that Kinder Morgan left out of a revised construction plan it filed with the NEB in May 2017, even though it must have known those mandatory elements would affect the project timeline. Kinder also " failed to incorporate the impact the NEB's definition of construction would have on its project schedule."
