The pipeline currently transports 850,000 barrels daily, nearing its maximum capacity of 890,000 barrels. Acquired by the federal government for $4.5 billion in 2018, the projects costs have since surged to over $34 billion.

The investment is expected to yield returns for Canadian taxpayers, ensuring the pipelines long-term operation. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
