[upbeat music] This is World Report. Good morning. I'm John Northcott. The Carney government is moving ahead with a major pipeline project in British Columbia. The Sunrise expansion is a multi-billion dollar addition to an Enbridge natural gas pipeline running through the province's interior. Federal Energy Minister Tim Hodgson says the expansion will add billions to Canada's GDP while boosting exports to Asia. Janice McGregor is in our parliamentary bureau. Janice, why is this specific project so significant for the Carney government's broader resource strategy?

John, this approval is going to green light a hundred and thirty-nine kilometers of new pipeline and 11 looping segments, boosting capacity along Enbridge's existing north-south route. It starts just north of Prince George, goes all the way down to the U.S. border. The Sunrise expansion is a four billion dollar project.
