Natural Resources Minister Tim Hodgson said Canada will do what it can to help bring down global energy prices, as the conflict in the Middle East drives the price of oil to multi-year highs.

“Canada will do its part to contribute to the world’s supply,“ Hodgson told reporters in Parliament on March 11. ”That will bring prices down for Canadians.”
