Canada currently ships oil only to the United States and loses about $15 billion annually by not exporting it to other markets through an expanded pipeline, Trudeau said.

British Columbia’s former Liberal government approved the pipeline project, but the current NDP government has asked the province’s highest court to determine if B.C. Getting the pipeline twinned involves “collaboration and respect for the provinces,” Trudeau said.
