Abstract: It is a pleasure to speak to you today aboui TransCanadas views on Canadian exports to the United States. And I cannot think of a more appropriate location than Boston tor my comments. Although the United States Northeast market is one that we now serve with only relatively small volumes, it is this region - primarily New England, New Jersey, and New York-where, in our view, the greatest potential for increased Canadian exports exists. As you may know, TransCanada plays a major role in the purchase, transmission, and sale of Canadian gas in both Canadian and U.S. markets. Consequently, and not unexpectedly, we have a direct interest in serving the U.S. market while ensuring that Canadian demand continues to be met. (See Figure 1.) TransCanada owns and operates Canadas sole gas transmission system, which runs from the Alberta/Saskatchewan border to Montreal, a distance of 2,100 miles. We also own 50 percent of the Trans Quebec & Maritimes Pipeline from Montreal to Quebec City. The Great Lakes Gas Transmission system, of which we own90 percent, delivers Canadian gas to the Midwest as well as to eastern Canadian markets. In addition, we have ownership interest in Foothills (Sask.), the Saskatchewan section of the Alaska Natural Gas Transportation System, and in Northern Border. Today, I would like to address the factors affecting the export of Canadian gas to the United States and describe TransCanadas proposal for delivering Canadian gas to the U.S. Northeast. Its known as the TransNiagara Project.
