What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The federal government designated a proposed 1 million-barrel/day crude oil pipeline to the Canadian Pacific Coast as a "project of national importance". This designation grants the federal government-backed Major Projects Office sole authority to handle regulatory permits and grant approvals within a specified timeline. Mark Carney stated that the Pacific Link pipeline will sustain over 3.5 million barrels/day of crude oil production from the oil sands region.
