Russian-Canadian energy deals possibly at risk
OTTAWA, Aug 19 (Reuters) - Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper allowed on Tuesday for the possibility of commercial gas deals with Russia being put at risk by Russia's military actions in neighboring Georgia.
Asked at a news conference if such deals could be at risk, Harper said: "We're examining obviously all aspects of our relationship. We're obviously focusing on aspects that have to with the strategic and military situation but we will of course review everything."
Russia's Gazprom, the world's largest natural gas company, announced in May it was joining Enbridge Inc (ENB.TO), Gaz Metro (GZM_u.TO) and Gaz de France GAZ.PA in developing an C$840 million ($792 million) liquefied natural gas project in Quebec.
