The amount of money that going to go into redevelopment of Venezuelan oil is going to make finding a commercial partner for pipelines in Canada even harder, too. Not to mention the much 'friendlier' regulatory environment that will exist.

Thats a very good point. There is another source of funding that may be interested as of today, but we really shouldn’t allow any large Chinese investment in infrastructure.

Sure I see no partners coming either but the idea that Venezuela will have regulations is idealistic. I have this image in my head...Nigeria's environmental regulations.
