Work on the heavily disputed Keystone XL oil pipeline across Canada and the US is due to begin in April. The pipeline across the Midwest has angered many environmentalists and Native American Tribal leaders.
Once the pipeline is operational it will transport 575,000 barrels of oil daily.
$1.1 billion in financing from the Canadian provincial government of Alberta has been secured by the company.
“This investment in Keystone XL is a bold move to retake control of our province’s economic destiny and put it firmly back in the hands of the owners of our natural resources, the people of Alberta,” Kenney said.
President Obama had twice rejected the pipeline on environmental grounds. However President Trump has been a strong supporter of the project and granted the permit for the work to go ahead.
