Natural Resources Minister Seamus O’Regan says the operation of Enbridge pipeline Line 5  is “non-negotiable,” and the federal government is prepared to “invoke whatever measures we need” to stop Michigan from shutting it down.
“We are fighting for Line 5 on every front and we are confident in that fight,” O’Regan said during a testimony before the Special Committee on the Economic Relationship between Canada and the United States on Thursday.
