MATL also applied to the Alberta Energy and Utilities Board (EUB), which in turn said the power line is in the public interest and the EUB had no jurisdiction to consider alternative routes apart from the general corridor proposed in the NEB permit.
At the time that the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) conducted its environmental assessment to the project, an environmental assessment had already been conducted under the Alberta Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act (EPEA), involving public hearings at the Alberta Energy and Utilities Board (AEUB), followed by the issuance of approvals under the EPEA and the Alberta Water Act.
