Trans Mountain pipeline to be complete in the 'coming months,' Wilkinson says

Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Jonathan Wilkinson says the Trans Mountain oil pipeline is mostly complete and will be done in the months ahead.

In September, the Canada Energy Regulator approved an application from Trans Mountain Corp. to modify the pipeline’s route. In an interview with BNN Bloomberg on Friday, Wilkinson gave an update on the project. 

“The expectation is that the project is going to be completed in the coming months,” he said. “I don't have the specific date in front of me in terms of when the corporation expects to complete it, but the project is over 90 per cent complete.” 

“And certainly we expect that it will come on stream over the course of the 2024 period.”
