Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper said his government plans to reform its regulatory system so energy projects can get faster approval as the country looks to sell more oil and gas to Asia.
“It’s essential that we be able sell our energy products outside of North America to partners, countries other than the United States,” Harper said today in Bangkok at a news conference with Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra. “That will require some significant infrastructure projects to go forward, and we’re obviously, as we’ve indicated, looking at taking steps necessary to ensure we can get timely regulatory decisions.”
