On September 23, U.S. Chamber President Tom Donohue delivered a major address to the Global Business Forum in Banff, Canada, on the need for U.S.-Canada energy cooperation. Speaking to an audience of innovative leaders from across North America, Donohue called for officials to clear the way for construction of the Keystone XL pipeline, among other projects. He stated: "There's no question that America's and Canada's economic futures are tied together. We are truly interdependent. America imports more energy from Canada than from any other nation-22% of our oil imports and 95% of our natural gas imports. Put simply, America needs Canada's energy-and Canada needs a growing U.S. market that is, and will always be, dependent on the availability of affordable energy and power. More than anything else, Keystone XL offers Americans an opportunity to improve their energy security. Dozens of companies and associations have already joined this partnership. We've put boots on the ground in the pipeline states-and in many neighboring states-to encourage businesses large and small to support the development of Canada's oil sands and to complete Keystone XL."
