Canada PM vows to ensure key oil pipeline is built
GUANGZHOU, China (Reuters) - Canada's prime minister on Friday made his
strongest comments yet in support of a proposed pipeline from oil-rich
Alberta to the Pacific coast, saying his government was committed to
ensuring the controversial project went ahead.
Enbridge Inc's Northern Gateway pipeline, which is strongly opposed by green
groups and some aboriginal bands, would allow Canada to send tankers of
crude to China and reduce reliance on the U.S. market.
An independent energy regulator -- which could in theory reject the project
-- last month started two years of hearings into the pipeline.
In remarks that appeared to cast some doubt on the regulator's eventual
findings, Prime Minister Stephen Harper said it had become "increasingly
clear that it is in Canada's national interest to diversify our energy
markets".
He continued: "To this end, our government is committed to ensuring that
Canada has the infrastructure necessary to move our energy resources to
those diversified markets."
Harper stepped up talk of oil sales to China in the wake of a U.S. decision
last month to block TransCanada Corp's proposed Keystone XL pipeline from
Alberta to the Gulf Coast of the United States.
Virtually all of Canada's energy exports go to the United States, where a
glut of supplies means some Canadian crude is sold at sometimes heavy
discounts.
"We have abundant supplies of virtually every form of energy. And you know,
we want to sell our energy to people who want to buy our energy -- it's that
simple," Harper told a business dinner in Guangzhou.
Opponents of the pipeline say the risk of a pipeline rupture or tanker
accident are too great. Harper's government brands some of the green groups
as foreign-funded radicals.
China has already made clear it is very interested in buying Canadian oil,
even though there is little chance crude would arrive inside the next decade
. Regardless of how the Canadian energy regulator rules on Northern Gateway,
the decision is likely to face a series of lengthy court challenges.
Harper had a cool attitude towards China when he took power in 2006, citing
Beijing's record on human rights. In recent years, he has stressed the need
for more trade to help Canada deal with economic woes in the United States
and Europe.
Current bilateral trade is modest and in 2010 was less than C$60 billion ($
60 billion), around a tenth of combined Canada-U.S. two-way trade.
Harper, leading the largest business delegation to China for almost 15 years
, said China had "shown the world how to make a poor people rich" and
predicted it would soon become the world's largest economy.
He also said he would continue to "raise issues of fundamental freedoms and
human rights" in talks with China.
"Canada does not -- and cannot -- disconnect our trading relationship from
fundamental national values," he said.
