## Resource

Trans Mountain Pipeline: A Sovereign Asset for Canada Leaders from Trans Mountain and its federal overseer suggest Ottawa may permanently own the Alberta-to-British Columbia pipeline, considering it a crucial national asset. 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. With the need for a second West Coast line emerging, Trans Mountain is contributing its expertise to this initiative. 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.
