<div style="text-align:left;"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><div style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; ">This spring, the National Energy Board is hosting a joint review panel to investigate whether Enbridge (the same company that is proposing the Northern Gateway pipeline) can reverse the flow of an existing pipeline that runs through Southern Ontario. Enbridge wants to reverse the flow so that the oil would travel from Sarnia to Montreal. What this means is that the pipeline could potentially carry corrosive tar sands oil coming in from the west. Line 9 was built in 1975, and we don't know whether or not the pipeline could handle the greater </span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; ">sulphur</span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; "> content of tar sands oil. This is a crucial issue, as the pipeline runs through sensitive
agricultural land, </span><span style="line-height: 20px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; ">as well as numerous watersheds draining into the Great Lakes</span><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; ">. </span><span style="line-height: 20px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; ">The full reversal would also allow tar sands bitumen access to refineries on the east coast of the US, helping to expand the tar sands market.</span></div>
