Working together: An update on the Line 3 Replacement Program

Indigenous businesses and workers on both sides of the border played a significant role in completing this essential maintenance project. With the replacement pipeline now fully operational, our focus has turned to safely removing the existing Line 3 pipeline from service¹, in accordance with Canadian and United States environmental and other regulatory approvals.

Highlights of Line 3 (Canada)

With our Indigenous partners in Canada, we:

• Generated more than C$480 million in spend with Indigenous businesses and communities, including C$124 million in wages for Indigenous workers;
• Employed over 1,100 Indigenous workers on the construction of Line 3 in Canada, which comprised 20% of the overall workforce; and
• Focused on Indigenous-only requests for proposal processes whereby the decommissioning work will be completed by Indigenous businesses and their affiliated businesses.

Highlights of Line 3 (United States)

With our Indigenous partners in the United States, and with the construction of Line 3 in the United States completed in September 2021, we have:

• Generated more than US$356.8 million in spend with Indigenous businesses and communities, including US$39.6 million in wages for Indigenous workers, surpassing our commitment of $100 million of economic opportunities as of Sept. 30, 2021.
• Employed over 850 Indigenous workers on construction of Line 3 in the United States, ultimately comprising more than 7% of the overall workforce.

The construction of the Line 3 replacement pipeline could not have been possible without listening to, and working collaboratively with Indigenous groups in Canada and the United States. Working together clearly demonstrates how we can achieve mutual benefits that positively impact both of us today and into the future.
