Canada is accelerating approval for a major west coast export pipeline to diversify its trade away from the United States.

Prime Minister Mark Carney announced that Canada is accelerating the regulatory approval process for the Pacific Link crude oil export pipeline. Designated as a project of national interest, the infrastructure aims to boost economic growth and reduce the country's trade vulnerability to United States tariffs. The initiative is a central element of the government's strategy to expand exports and diversify its economic partnerships away from its southern neighbor.

The Pacific Link pipeline is projected to generate more than twenty billion Canadian dollars annually in gross domestic product.
The project was originally announced in July before receiving its recent fast-track designation.
Ottawa will handle the initiative through a streamlined single federal regulatory review process.
