The National Energy Board states the Canadian section of the Alaska Highway gas line can be financed to complete by 1985 and funds exist for early southern construction this summer.

NDP Doubts Alaska Highway Gas Line Will Be Built
Ed Broadbent and the NDP pressed Parliament to block summer recess to force a vote on the Foothills pre-build of the Alaska Highway natural gas pipeline. They argued the project is too risky with costs rising to 22 to 24 billion dollars and could be abandoned, while Liberals and Conservatives urged support for keeping the line moving toward 1985 completion.
