Aug 15, 2018 | 8:07 AM

LAC LA BICHE- The organization that represents Metis in Alberta says it supports the expansion of the Trans Mountain oil pipeline through B-C.

The Metis Nation of Alberta says members voted in favour of the resolution at a conference.

President Audrey Poitras says solid economic investment, including pipelines like the Trans Mountain, is the right way to go.

The expanded pipeline would triple the amount of diluted bitumen that is shipped from Alberta to a terminal in Burnaby.
