TransCanada is calling its pipeline project the Energy East Pipeline. It is a planned 4,500-kilometre pipeline that is supposed to carry 1.1-million barrels of bitumen and crude oil per day from Alberta and Saskatchewan to refineries in Eastern Canada. A major component of this project includes converting an existing natural gas pipeline to an oil transportation pipeline, which as past events have already demonstrated, is clearly not a safe option.

Quebec and potentially Ontario have decided to conduct an environmental review and assessment of the project.
