The British Columbia government said it is concerned about the ramifications of oil spills and has been fighting the Kinder Morgan project.
Notley said the pipeline expansion, which has been approved by Ottawa, is critical for Alberta to get a better price for oil in overseas markets.
She said her government will pass legislation this session to give her the authority to reduce the amount of oil flowing to B.C. if the province continues to stall the pipeline.
