Prime Minister Justin Trudeau would not say whether taxpayers will have to take a loss with the eventual sale of the Trans Mountain pipeline, of which he touted the merits.

“We are confident that the business case for the Trans Mountain pipeline remains solid,” Mr. Trudeau said on Aug. 23 after the Liberal cabinet retreat in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island.
