Abstract
"We have always known, based on scientific facts and our pipelines operational histories, that diluted bitumen is no more corrosive than conventional crude," [Brenda Kenny] said. "Now, this manufactured myth can stop and Canadians can be further assured that our pipelines are safe regardless of the type of product they carry."
