Minister Oliver Announces Fourth Visit to Washington, D.C.
Reinforcing strong Canada-United States relationship on energy and the environment
(firmenpresse) - OTTAWA, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 04/23/13 -- The Honourable Joe Oliver, Canada's Minister of Natural Resources, today announced his fourth visit to Washington, D.C. The Minister will reinforce Canada's position as the United States' environmentally responsible energy supplier and our desire to strengthen our relationship and energy security through the approval of Keystone XL. The Minister will discuss our countries' mutual commitment to supporting jobs and strengthening environmental stewardship on both sides of our shared border.
"Canada supports the Keystone XL project because it will enhance national security, create jobs and foster long-term economic prosperity for both of our countries," said Minister Oliver. "Strengthening our bilateral energy collaboration would displace oil from Venezuela and the Middle East with a stable continental supply and thereby enhance the energy security of North America."
