Why it matters
The designation of the pipeline as a national interest project may be seen as good news for the energy industry, but its construction is still uncertain due to bureaucratic hurdles. The project's slow pace may be compared to other countries that have built infrastructure more quickly. The designation may be seen as a reflection of the attractiveness of Canada as an investment destination.
