JUNEAU -- Members of the House of Representatives voted late Tuesday to approve an exclusive state license for a Canadian energy company proposing to build a natural gas pipeline down the Alaska Highway to Alberta.

The 24-16 vote supports the license for Calgary-based TransCanada Corp., one of the continent's biggest gas pipeline operators. The House could take a re-vote today before sending the proposal to the Senate.

Sixteen Democrats and eight Republicans voted in support of the license, with one Democrat and 15 Republicans voting against. Among those voting no were House Speaker John Harris, R-Valdez, and House Majority Leader Ralph Samuels, R-Anchorage.
