Article content The federal government has signalled it will defend the pipeline’s operation using the provisions of the 1977 Transit Pipeline Treaty, which researchers at the CD Howe Institute say “could prove crucial” to Canada’s efforts to keep Line 5 in operation. O’Regan called the operation of Line 5 “non-negotiable” in a House of Commons committee meeting on Thursday and said the federal government is “fighting on a diplomatic front.” This drew questions from Conservative MP Mark Strahl, who noted the federal government had failed to prevent U.S. President Joe Biden from cancelling TC Energy Corp.’s Alberta-to-Nebraska Keystone XL pipeline, and pressed O’Regan on how the plan for Line 5 was different.
