The Trans Mountain pipeline expansion is complete and the Canada Energy Regulator has given the go-ahead for the project to open.

The regulator says it has approved the last remaining “leave to open” applications submitted by Trans Mountain Corp. Approval of these applications was required before the expanded pipeline could begin shipping oil.
