In the Feb. 4 edition of Natural Gas Intelligence, a storytitled “Producers Present Unified Front in Alliance-Nova Battle”contained unsubstantiated allegations against TransCanada PipeLinesmade by a spokesman for Alliance Pipeline. An Alliance officialsaid TransCanada was under investigation by Canada’s Bureau ofCompetition for “anticompetitive behavior, use of dominant power.”The bureau, however, does not release any information regarding itsinvestigations so the allegation could not be corroborated. In aletter to NGI, TransCanada said it is not under investigation. Weapologize for printing the quotation without having independentconfirmation of its truthfulness.
