The Enbridge pipeline would carry crude from the Alberta oilsands to the B.C. coast for export.
Redford has rejected Clark’s demand for a bigger share of the project’s revenues.
Clark insists that B.C.’s environmental concerns be addressed before her government approves the pipeline.
Clark also wants a greater share of the revenues Alberta will earn, arguing that’s required to offset the increased environmental risk.
