I recently posted a link to a notice of motion brought by Alternatives North in connection with the Mackenzie Valley gas pipeline project. Alternatives North has requested that the National Energy Board (NEB) require the proponents of the project to update economic information they had filed in 2007, citing changes in financial circumstances (drop in demand for natural gas, etc.).
The NEB has ruled on the motion in favour of requiring updated information to be filed. Read the decision at:

Economics behind Mackenzie Valley Pipeline being called into question
The Alternatives North Coalition, a social justice coalition operating in the Northwest Territories (http://www.alternativesnorth.ca/), has written to the National Energy Board to request that it revisit the issue of the economic justification for the proposed Mackenzie Valley pipeline. The proponents of the project filed a market evaluation with the NEB in 2004. ANC questions whether the 2004 figures are still reliable given drops in demand for gas and other considerations.

CBC News - Money - Environmental panel's demands could kill Mackenzie project: Imperial
CBC News - Money - Environmental panel's demands could kill Mackenzie project: Imperial
Imperial Oil and other backers of the proposed Mackenzie Valley pipeline are asking the National Energy Board to reject several recommendations made by the Joint Review Panel set up to assess the project. For one thing, the project proponents claim that a restriction on noise from facilities installed within a 623 square kilometre bird sanctuary may prevent development of about two-thirds of the gas intended for the pipeline. The proponents also reject the suggestion that assessments be filed about the effects of construction on permafrost before trenching is begun.
The proponents comments on Joint Review Panel recommendations within the NEB's mandate are available at:

The proponents comments on Joint Review Panel recommendations outside the NEB's mandate are available at:
