Pacific Link Pipeline Gets Priority Status with Federal Government Designation

A new proposed oil pipeline to the west coast of Canada has been designated as a 'Project of National Interest' by the federal government. The Pacific Link Pipeline, which would carry up to a million barrels of oil per day from Alberta to the B.C. coast, largely follows the existing Trans Mountain corridor. This development comes after months of talk about a new pipeline to the west coast.

The Pacific Link Pipeline has received backing from the federal government, and its route is similar to that of the existing Trans Mountain pipeline. The project's designation as a 'Project of National Interest' suggests that it will be prioritized in the country's infrastructure development plans.
