The proposed line would run roughly 1,250 kilometres from Bruderheim, Alberta, to a deepwater port near Delta, British Columbia, largely following the existing Trans Mountain corridor, and carry about one million barrels of crude a day for export.

Ottawa says Pacific Link would create 140,000 jobs, generate more than $20 billion in GDP annually and $100 billion in government revenue by 2060. Alberta estimates it will collect over $265 billion in additional royalties over the pipeline's life.

The Alberta government and the federally owned Trans Mountain Corp. would each hold a 45% stake, with Calgary-based Pembina Pipeline Corp. taking 10%. Indigenous communities will be offered a minimum 10% ownership interest.

The Major Projects Office consulted more than 130 Indigenous communities over three months. The government said most of those consulted were not prepared to support the listing given unanswered questions on routing, environmental effects and spill response.

A conditions document is due by Sept. 1, 2027, with public hearings led by the Canada Energy Regulator beforehand. Officials estimate costs between $35.2 billion and $43.7 billion and said legal challenges are probable.
