From my @CBCEdmonton colleague — construction staging has already begun on the ground in Alberta ahead of cabinet's Trans Mountain decision later this afternoon. #cdnpoli
@CBCEdmonton The prime minister, flanked by ministers Morneau Sohi, McKenna, Wilkinson and Garneau, will make an announcement on the Trans Mountain pipeline at 4:30 p.m. ET. Watch this space. #cdnpoli
We've just had the (embargoed) technical briefing. The PM should be up shortly to announce the cabinet's decision on Trans Mountain. Stand by. You can watch LIVE here: cbc.ca/1.5178438 #cdnpoli #TMX
BREAKING | Trudeau cabinet approves Trans Mountain expansion project. CBC.ca/1.5180269 #cdnpoli #hw Image
The cabinet has affirmed the National Energy Board's conclusion that, while the pipeline has the potential to damage the environment, it's in the national interest and could contribute tens of billions of dollars to government coffers and create & sustain thousands of jobs.
Beyond approving the project, Trudeau also committed to directing every dollar the federal government earns from the pipeline — which, when built, is estimated to be some $500 million a year in federal corporate tax revenue — to investments in unspecified clean energy projects.
Any proceeds from the eventual sale of the pipeline will also be earmarked for projects that would help with the transition away from fossil fuels to cleaner sources of energy.
The federal Liberal government said Tuesday it will now begin the process of meeting with Indigenous groups who are interested in buying the project. Ottawa has said it does not want to own the project long-term.
A senior government official, speaking on background to reporters ahead of the official announcement, said while there are still a number of permits and regulatory hurdles facing the controversial project, the government expects construction work to start sometime in 2019.
"There's six months left in 2019 and I think it's fair to say shovels will be in the ground in 2019," the official said. "Plans are being drafted up, regulators are ready to move forward."

Good evening from Laval, Que.! We're 15 minutes away from the CPC French-language debate.

All six candidates will be on stage. Three of them can't speak the language.

The seating capacity for this room is about 1,000 — still some empty chairs as people trickle in from the bar.
The seats are all full and it's standing-room only at this Laval banquet hall.

Valerie Assouline, the vice-president of the party, tell us that this is the first time the French-language debate has been held in the Montreal area.
Assouline also announced the election results will be unveiled in Ottawa on Sept. 10. (We knew the date but now we know the city and the venue — it's the Shaw Centre.)

Just off the phone with a Conservative caucus member who's hopping mad about Denise Batters getting the boot.
"For Erin, this is the beginning of the end," this Conservative told me. "It's a position of weakness. A real leader would say, 'Let's have a vote,' and trigger a caucus vote to see just how much support he really has."
This person says the more O'Toole tries to "suppress" dissent, the bigger anti-O'Toole movement will be — comparing O'Toole to Wojciech Jaruzelski, Soviet puppet leader in 1980s Poland who imposed martial law to silence opposition only to be toppled by invigorated anticommunists.

Just off the phone with a Conservative caucus member who spoke very frankly about Monday's election.

They're not happy with O'Toole. Biggest issue? Campaigning as a "true blue" in the leadership and then abandoning many promises in the general. Carbon tax. Guns. Fiscal prudence.
"He campaigned as a Liberal. He wasn't even Liberal lite — he campaigned as a Liberal in this campaign with no input from caucus or the party or anybody else," the caucus member said.
The caucus member also said they and others were caught off guard by what was actually in the party's platform.

"I didn't even know what we were running on until I saw him on TV," the Tory said of O'Toole's platform launch on day two of the campaign.
