July 31 (Reuters) - TransCanada Corp TRP.TO , the Canadian
company behind the controversial Keystone XL pipeline, remains
committed to the C$8 billion ($6.2 billion) project, the
company's head said on Friday, even as hopes fade for an
approval by the Obama administration.
"We remain 100 percent committed to the project," Chief
Executive Russ Girling said of the cross-border pipeline on a
conference call.
Earlier this week, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper
said he was not hopeful that the United States would approve the
northern leg of project, which has been in limbo awaiting a
Presidential permit for six years. ID:nL1N1092AQ
