Read this breaking story from The Vancouver Sun reporting that according to the National Energy Board Joint Review Panel, the decision on the proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipeline will now be delayed until late-2013.

“CALGARY — The joint review panel hearing submissions on the
controversial Northern Gateway oil pipeline to the B.C. coast will take a
year longer than expected to deliver its final report. In a
projected schedule released late Tuesday, the three-member panel said it ‘would anticipate releasing the environmental assessment report in the
fall of 2013 and its final decision on the project around the end of
2013.’ That’s a year later than expected, confirmed Annie Roy, panel spokeswoman.”
