OTTAWA/TORONTO - The spreading coronavirus outbreak will hit Canada’s already struggling energy industry, Finance Minister Bill Morneau said on Monday, just as Ottawa is set to decide the fate of a major new oil sands project.
“Just when it looked like investment might be coming back to the oil patch this renewed downturn in oil prices could stem the inflow of capital into the sector,” Guatieri said.

That may benefit people buying houses in major cities where demand is strong.
