Three Canadian environmental groups have filed a motion with the federal appeals court in hopes of quashing the Trans Mountain pipeline.
On Monday, Ecojustice announced it had filed a motion with the Federal Court of Appeals on behalf of the Living Oceans Society and Raincoast Conservation Foundation.
The groups claim Ottawa’s June 18 approval of the pipeline did not take into account its duty to protect endangered southern resident killer whales.
The Crown corporation building the Trans Mountain pipeline has said shovels could be in the ground by September.
