HOUSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–$KMI #KinderMorgan–Kinder Morgan, Inc. (NYSE: KMI) is pleased with the National Energy
Board’s (NEB) decision today setting down a generic process to hear any
future motions as they relate to provincial and municipal permitting
issues.

“Creation of a process that is open, fair and provides certainty for all
parties is good news and is an important component of the assurances we
need for the successful execution of the Trans Mountain Expansion
Project,” said Ian Anderson, President of Kinder Morgan Canada Limited.

in good faith and will be reviewing the decision in more detail.

related economic benefits to all Canadians including local, regional and
Aboriginal communities.
