b'Since 2004, MATL (Montana Alberta Tie Line) has been trying to gain \\nregulatory and property owner approval for a 300 Mega Watt high voltage \\ntransmission line between Lethbridge, AB and Great Falls, Montana.\\n\\nInitially the $100 million project was to be operational by spring of 2007, \\nbut EUB hearings, concerning the MATL application, was just recently \\ncompleted. Many affected parties voiced their opinion for or against the \\nplanned power line. Routing and safety issues were among the more disputed \\nitems. A decision is expected early 2008.\\n\\nQuestions also being asked were: Do we really need this line in terms of \\npower supply? Should we be integrating our power lines East-West rather \\nthan North-South? The MATL project is being touted as a win-win venture, \\nthe question remains, for whom?\\n\\nSpeaker: \\tScott Stenbeck\\n\\nScott was raised in Pincher Creek, where he graduated from Mathew Halton High School.
