VIDEO: With Keystone pipeline project halted, China looks to Canada

In an interview with Reuters, Prime Minister Stephen Harper said his government was exploring opportunities with China in order to get the country's oil to market.

"I think we need to be clear. As much as I want to see that Keystone project proceed, this incident underscores the fact it is in this country's national interest to be able to sell its products beyond the United States," Harper said.
