this year, canada participated with four ships. we were also pleased that our lead flying team, and the royal canadian air force snowbird flight team also performed at the air show. just to give you perspective, and the snowbirds are our elite flying team, on par with the blue angels. in addition to the air show, the pilots also visited the local v.a. hospital to do good will of reach. the government of canada, consulate, and partners, secured $31,000 in corporate partnerships -- sponsorships through the consulate, transcanada, alberta tourism commission, and canadian tourism commission, and that money went to support the snowbird participation. while the week was entertaining, our participation is more than just the activities but showcasing to californians the integrated nature of north american defense. canadian u.s. military forces partner through various forums including nato, and un missions, and the linkages that we develop over the course of fleet week will be put to use in the summer when we participate in rimpac in hawaii

and canada joined with the u.s. , restrictions against iran, why is that? is that a tactical move? >> i think it was tactical. well coordinated and the united states announced today, this is the beginning of what will be a global campaign to do significant business. it began imposing kind of unilateral action. what's striking about these actions is that they are as much to kind of preempt israel or any other power considering military action and to preempt tougher action by the american congress. there's been a move in washington to cut off iran's central bank which would be almost unprecedented. not quite but almost. this is an attempt by the white house to prevent -- taking the lead. >> given the fact that russia and china are blocking any move to refer this to the u.n. security counsell? >> the united nations is not likely to take tough action on iran. that's why the actions have been takeny three major western powers that have had -- well, two of them had major dealings with iran since the revolution, anyway. but you know, the -- the probability of anything happening is unlikel

major clients in essence trans canada got to review itself which explains perhaps why a environmental review of the seven hundred mile pipelines of the second biggest pool of carbon on earth found that it would have no environmental effect that's ludicrous and we understood a little more how ludicrous it was this week when reporters found one twenty something year old at the state department and been the only person running this environmental review and the person wasn't even an environmental expert they were called the diplomatic courier and after a couple of years of the only person overseeing it they were shuttled off to nigeria this is not been a huge effort at all and it's time for the president to take ownership and do the job why is it going to have been a serious effort when do you think that is it negligence or is it is it not sort of not proving that a democratic administration isn't necessarily a climate green friendly administration we're going to find out how climate friendly it is the one person we haven't heard from is president obama so far the oil companies have run t

canada is already the largest source of non-u.s. oil into the united states.unts for a quarter of total imports. not saudi arabia, but saudi arabia, nigeria, venezuela, then mexico are after them. they are all after canada in terms of the amount of oil the united states gets from other countries. the obama administration faces a political problem whether it approves keystone xl or rules against it. business groups and trade unions support the keystone project which is estimated to create 20,000 construction jobs and bring in $5 billion in tax revenue. but environmentalists oppose the pipeline. it's a route they have a problem with because it goes over a major source of freshwater through nebraska sandhills. now, this past thursday the obama administration said it would delay the decision on the pipeline until 2013 after the elections. the state department will use the extra time to study an alternate route through nebraska that avoids the environmentally sensitive regions. the yellow line is the existing pipeline. the dotted orange line is the proposed extensi

canada's oil sands are clearly mutually beneficial to canada and america and the security of north america. very significantly, canada's enormous deposits of 175.2 billion barrels of reserves of oil places it third in the world. 170 billion of these barrels are in the oil sands, and these deposits place canada as one of the central sources of production growth in the coming decades. it represents about 60% of the world's accessible oil right here in our neighborhood. i am grateful that canada is our largest trading partner and the largest supplier of oil to america. canada contributes 22% of the total oil imports of america's daily use of 19.1 million barrels. congress has indicated its support for oil sands. in july we passed the north american-made energy security act. this bill urges the president to approve the pipeline. i appreciate jobs for alberta which produces jobs for america. i yield the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the chair recognizes the gentleman from north carolina, mr. butterfield, for five minutes. mr. butterfield: let me thank you, mr. speaker, for yieldi
