WINNIPEG, Manitoba, Sept 15 (Reuters) – Trans Mountain Corp [RIC:RIC:TMC.UL], the oil pipeline company owned by the Canadian government, asked a regulator on Thursday to approve the proposed tolls it wants to charge shippers, who have said they are too high.

In a filing to the Canada Energy Regulator, Trans Mountain also said the toll proposal would result in the pipeline operator absorbing two-thirds of the construction cost increases for its long-delayed expansion project.
