This paper addresses the extent to which the National Energy Board, in deciding whether to grant a “certificate of public convenience and necessity” for the proposed Mackenzie Valley pipeline, should consider the adverse effects of activities that are upstream and downstream of the pipeline.

On the one hand, that exercise poses considerable methodological problems and it appears unfair to the pipeline proponents, because it suggests that the Board will hold the proponents responsible for numerous effects beyond the proponents’ control.
