THE BIG PICTURE

Alberta’s energy sector, and the global energy landscape, is vast and complex. Getting a handle on the big picture is a helpful starting point. As we learn some key parts of this picture, we’re going to share them with you here.

THE BIG 3

The Panel is going to examine three major streams of the energy business that fall under Alberta’s royalty framework: crude oil and liquids; natural gas; and oil sands.

Each of these streams involves distinct geology, prices, and market considerations. And each has a different royalty structure, which may need to change to meet our goals and expectations.

We’ll be sharing what we learn about these streams. As the conversation evolves, you’ll be able to click on the icons to dig deeper and explore each of these streams. We’ll be asking for your thoughts about them, and we welcome any wisdom you’re willing to share.

Week Four Media Round-Up

Fresh off the excellent conversations we had at our community engagement sessions in Grande Prairie and Fort McMurray last week, we are preparing to talk to Albertans at our next sessions in Calgary (Oct 5th) and Edmonton (Oct 6th) .

Between our two sets of sessions, I had the opportunity to sit down with the Calgary Herald editorial board for an in-depth interview. They’ve written two stories based on that interview that I’d encourage you to read:

Herald reporter James Wood provided a short overview of the interview , including a video on some selected topics.
One story focused on my initial response to an overview of the C.D. Howe Institute report.

As we keep talking to Albertans, I’m pleasantly surprised at the thoughtfulness and thoroughness of the questions we are getting from all corners. Every day the conversation becomes a little more robust. Keep giving us your thoughts , we’re listening.

Thanks,

Dave Mowat

The Panel

The Conversation

We’re inviting you to have several conversations with us, over several stages. Each stage is going to feed into the next. We’re going to ask you questions, and consider what you say. On a regular and frequent basis, we’re going to report back and reflect what you’ve told us, and ask you more questions based on that.

WHAT DOES SUCCESS LOOK LIKE?

Visit often, because the questions will change. Encourage your friends, family members and co-workers to visit and participate as well. We want to have as much dialogue with as many Albertans as we can.

Invite other Albertans!
