June 27 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index climbed higher on Wednesday, after a supply disruption at one of the country's largest oil sands facilities push oil prices higher lifting energy stocks.
* At 9:35 a.m. ET (1335 GMT), the Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX Composite index .GSPTSE was up 38.6 points, or 0.24 percent, at 16,318.69.
* A Suncor Energy Inc SU.TO spokeswoman reaffirmed, production at Syncrude, one of Canada's largest oil sands facility is likely to remain offline at least through July. Oil prices climbed on supply disruption in Canada, falling U.S. crude stocks, uncertainty over Libyan exports and U.S. demands that importers stop buying Iranian crude from November. O/R
* Five of the index's 11 major sectors were higher, led by the energy sector .SPTTEN which added 1.7 percent.
* U.S. crude CLc1 prices were up 1.7 percent and Brent crude LCOc1 rose 1.1 percent.
* The nationalization of a crude oil export pipeline in western Canada has buoyed long-standing hopes for crude exports to markets beyond the United States - but the most likely destination for much of that oil is California. On the NAFTA front, Canadian Finance Minister Bill Morneau said on Tuesday he wants NAFTA negotiations to resume as soon as possible, adding that while the Canadian economy was doing well, tariffs imposed by the U.S. on steel and aluminum were a problem. A Reuters analysis showed, steel pipes and tubes used in drilling and transporting crude oil flooded into Canada this spring, as U.S. President Donald Trump's steel tariffs forced producers from Asia to Europe to seek new markets.
