An inadvertent web posting by the NEB on Friday 23 December indicated that the NEB had issued a certificate for the project. However, the Governor in Council did not direct the NEB to issue a certificate in respect of the pipeline.

Governor in Council Order No. P.C. 2016-1162 (16 December 2016) extended the timeline for a decision on the Towerbirch expansion project by three months but did not direct the NEB to issue a certificate in respect of the pipeline.

The NEB apologises for any confusion that may have resulted due to the inadvertent web posting.
