Canada's TC Energy is cutting some jobs to "optimize the value for our business," a company spokesperson said on Tuesday, without giving details of how many positions have been impacted.

News of the job cuts at TC Energy comes a week after Suncor Energy told employees it would eliminate around 1,500 jobs. Earlier this year, Imperial Oil cut the number of contractors working at its Kearl oil sands project.
