Follow the same environmental conditions and respect for previous consultation requests as the TMX expansion that just finished. Like the last consultation is pretty damn fresh and probably involves largely the exact same people.
That way you know you have more or less followed strict environmental guidelines and impacted parties requests as reasonably as possible given the urgency of the infrastructure. Again I think the port of Vancouver and/or dock / export infrastructure on the coast might need upgrading as well. Not too sure about that side of things and might kill the idea.
Concurrent with above you yes/ also pass emergency legislation to kickstart other economic drivers and industry supports that can be sold to alternative markets like Europe and Asia.
Basically go ham trying to diversify the whole economy but expand the pipeline as well.

There’s no room for another pipeline in that row and even if there was the limiting factor would then be vessel logistics into and out of that harbour. There’s no upgrading or solution for that.
