Robert Parsons, sessional instructor in the department of supply chain management at the University of Manitoba in the Asper School of Business, said this isn’t cause for panic.
“It’s not a crisis,” he said. “It’s a manageable inconvenience, I think that’s the key thing.”
“We know that they’ll be repairing this pipeline, which is good; we also know that it will take no longer than about three months. That may not be good, but we know roughly how long it’s going to take therefore that’s not necessarily bad,” he said.
Parsons said gas will be available at the pumps once again, and noted that it’s not abnormal for stations to get low on fuel.
“If you’re looking at individual stations… some people are kind of running out of gas, but when is their normal cycle for refill? That takes a little bit of time,” he said, explaining stations get a regular distribution of fuel.
“It’s not there constantly.”
