What happened

Well supportedReported by 11 independent outlets

The federal and Alberta governments confirmed their participation in the Pacific Link oil pipeline project, which aims to transport crude oil from Alberta to the West Coast region. The pipeline is being designated a project of national interest, a move that places it on a regulatory fast track. The proposed route is 1,200 kilometres long, running from Bruderheim, Alberta, to a proposed port.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The designation as a national interest project allows the federal government to fast-track approvals and bypass some environmental laws. The project is a central component of an energy agreement between the federal and Alberta governments, and proponents suggest it could significantly boost Canada’s economy.

An MOU was previously signed between federal and provincial governments regarding an oil pipeline project targeting the West Coast region, amid efforts by Imperial Oil to double production in Alberta.
