Canada's Natural Resources Minister Jim Carr, when asked whether the federal government would invest in the C$7.4 billion ($5.8 billion) project, told the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation: "We are looking at all options -- that’s on the table. We’re not ruling anything out. We are doing an assessment of what might be necessary, working with the government of Alberta.", N ^- {" l) B$ I: G4 H
