Reimbursement — measures taken by government institution

140 If an unintended or uncontrolled release of oil, gas or any other commodity from a pipeline occurs, the Commission may, by order, direct the company that is authorized under this Act to construct or operate that pipeline to reimburse any federal, provincial or municipal government institution, any Indigenous governing body or any person for the costs and expenses that the Commission considers reasonable that they incurred in taking any reasonable action or measure in relation to the release, even if the costs and expenses are more than the amount of the limit of liability referred to in subsection 137(5) that applies to that company.
