The problem with Gulf of the St. Lawrence is this: it's 1-2 billion barrels of oil at most and it's in an incredibly environmentally sensitive area. Quebec is throwing a hissy fit over Alberta mining frozen tundra while they are considering drilling for oil in an area known for its diverse wildlife, fishing, and tourism industry?

For comparison, Alberta has proven and currently technologically/economically viable reserves of about 180 billion barrels.

Quebec doesn't even qualify as a small-time player.
