Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver says the government is encouraged by the outcome of the U.S. State Department's final environmental impact study on the Keystone X-L pipeline. Oliver urged the Obama administration to make a “timely decision,” noting the United States has been studying the pipeline for five years. He said the latest federal study was the fifth on its environmental impact and said each report has stated that the pipeline would not adversely affect the environment.

FILE - In this Feb. 17, 2013, file photo, Native Americans match with other protestors from the National Mall to the White House in Washington during a rally calling on President Barack Obama to reject the Keystone XL oil pipeline from Canada. Obama is running out of reasons to say no to Keystone XL, the proposed oil pipeline that’s long been looming over his environmental legacy.

It’s stuck in a complex permitting process that has enabled Obama to put off what will inevitably be a politically explosive decision. (AP Photo/Manuel Balce Ceneta, File)
