Bipole III Appeal to Cabinet Dismissed 25 July 14

Manitoba Justice initiated an appeal to cabinet of the Bipole III Transmission Project licence. The Manitoba Wildlands appeal to cabinet of the BiPole III licence has been decided. The letter indicating the Manitoba Wildlands appeal was dismissed is signed by the Clerk to Cabinet Milton Sussman.

There is no information about what happened to all the other appeals of the Bipole III licence. There is no clarity and no public information on the various appeals on the Bipole III licence filed by the deadline and not involved in the appeal to cabinet.

Appeals of Environmental licenses in Manitoba are no longer filed in the public registry. That means there is no public record of the initial appeals or the appeals to cabinet of the Bipole II licence.

The Environment Act requires the minister to explain the reasons for rejection of an appeal of an environment act licence. When cabinet deals with appeals on the licence there is no explanation. A skeptic or cynic would wonder if this process was to erase the initial appeals of the Bipole III licence.
