MONTREAL, Oct 15 (Reuters) - Canadian Liberal leader Justin
Trudeau, leading in polls ahead of the Oct 19 election, said on
Thursday that it was up to communities to decide whether to
support a project like TransCanada's proposed Energy East
pipeline.
"It is not up to government to support one project or
another, it is up for a government to set the framework within
which communities can choose, or not, to support a project.
Because people understand we need jobs and growth and
development, but it cannot come at the cost of our health, of
our environmental safety, of our long-term future," Trudeau said
during a campaign stop in Montreal.
