Canada’s natural resources minister is in Kuwait participating in the International Energy Forum.

Joe Oliver says his message is simple; Canada has oil and gas for sale and is looking to do business with countries other than the U.S.A.

“Our Asia-Pacific gateway will be the fastest way to ship goods, including energy, between North America and Asia,” said Oliver. “And diversifying our export markets remains a key strategic objective for Canada.”

Oliver says interest in the oil sands is on the rise, and that Canada remains committed to addressing environmental concerns about extraction.
