Oil firm TransCanada has
unveiled plans to build a pipeline from western Canada to the country's
Atlantic coast, as its plans for a US pipeline remain stalled.
The 12bn Canadian dollar ($11.6bn; £8bn) Energy East line would carry up to 1.1 million barrels of oil per day.That would replace oil imported to eastern Canada, with a leftover surplus to export across the Atlantic.
Meanwhile, the company's Keystone XL pipeline from Alberta to Texas faces stiff US environmental opposition.
On Thursday, TransCanada Chief Executive Russ Girling hailed the "many benefits across Canada" the pipeline would bring.
