Officials say Canada hopes to strengthen its ties with Louisiana’s energy industry and is working to extend its crude oil pipelines to Louisiana refineries.


Crude petroleum and other energy commodities accounted for 16 percent of Louisiana’s total exports to Canada and 14 percent of its imports from Canada in 2007. Louisiana - Canada’s third-largest U.S. trading partner - also serves as an access point for the Canadian National Railway.


Consul General of Canada Norris Pettis said Tuesday the two-way trade between Louisiana and Canada generated $2. billion in 2007, which in turn supported 102,000 jobs statewide. Pettis said the relationship is very strong now, but it can always be stronger.
