*The Council of Canadians Guelph Chapter condemned the National Energy 
Board (NEB) today for approving Enbridge's Line 9 proposal to ship 
diluted bitumen in their forty-year-old pipeline between Sarnia and 
Montreal and is urging Premier Kathleen Wynne to prevent the 
controversial project from going forward. *

**

*"Pipeline safety expert Richard Kuprewicz testified to the NEB that 
Line 9 has a high risk of rupture if the project goes ahead" said 
chapter spokesperson John Dennis. "Line 9 passes though hundreds of 
communities and rivers that flow right into the Great Lakes and Enbridge 
still hasn't finished cleaning up after their last massive diluted 
bitumen spill in the Kalamazoo River four years ago." *

*"How can the NEB  allow an accident prone company to pump some of the 
dirtiest oil on the planet through an ancient pipeline across the 
drinking water supply of millions of people?" " said John Dennis. "The 
NEB is clearly just a rubber stamp for big oil. Now it is the absolute 
duty of the province to protect our drinking water. Premier Wynne must 
step in to prevent a catastrophe."*

*The Council of Canadians is Canada's largest citizens advocacy group 
with more than 60 chapters across the country and 11 chapters near Line 
9 including London, Guelph, Brantford, Hamilton, Peel Region, York 
University, Toronto, Northumberland, Peterborough and the Kawarthas, 
Brockville and Montreal. *
