Canada designates Pacific Link pipeline a national interest project to fast-track approval

Prime Minister Mark Carney announced Canada will fast-track the approval process for the proposed Pacific Link crude oil export pipeline to the west coast, designating it a project of national interest to enable a single federal regulatory review process. Ottawa aims to complete the review by September 1, 2027. The pipeline is part of Carney's bid to diversify Canada's economy away from the US and lessen the impact of Trump's tariffs.
