" ...first the pipeline..."?

How is that tied up with China little fella?

The oil and gas industry in Canada is the only major non regulated industry that is largely Canadian controlled: Canadian HQ's, Canadian boards, spending decisions made in Canada. China is a bit player in the Canadian oilpatch, and their largest acquisition, Nexen was a dog that the Canadian oilpatch refused to buy.

The Canadian oil and gas industry is pushing for, and paying for, the additional export pipelines.
