Environment committee  Thanks, Nigel. Ironically, I'm living and breathing some of the equivalency issues right now, for example, with the federal and the provincial methane regulations. The equivalency piece is quite lacking in terms of clarity and what will be the judgment for that. I'm not as stro

Environment committee  The much larger issues that first nations are facing in this country are social and economic issues. That's what I'm referring to there, with no reference to the pipeline issue.

Environment committee  I absolutely entirely believe that economic opportunity is a great part of it. For example, Pembina Institute is working with northern first nation communities who are looking at bringing energy self-sufficiency to their communities. We've been running this process for three year

Environment committee  We're at a nexus point globally when it comes to energy. We're at a point where we have revolutionary new technologies for extracting gas and oil through hydraulic fracturing. We also have revolutionary technologies coming from renewables, batteries, and merging technologies. My

Environment committee  Did you want me to tear off my jersey and have a temper tantrum?

Environment committee  That would be for Mr. Bankes. I don't remember the specifics of that, to be honest. It predates my day in the discussions on oil sands. I think significantly, though, when we look at the role for us to review bad decisions, or potentially mistakes on the decisions..... For exampl

Environment committee  I'd agree with that. I think there are some specific differences, though, between the CER and potential offshore issues, so I'd reserve that comment for the CER context.

Environment committee  I'm not going to answer that with one word, I'm sorry. It's a complex project. It needs more than just one word.

Environment committee  I think the social issues that our first nations are facing are huge barriers and huge issues, and I would strongly support a country and government and others to address those issues. I think specifically, projects like pipelines or other types of industrial activities, when d

Environment committee  No. The Pembina Institute is a clean energy organization that believes we have to develop all our resources responsibly. That's both oil sands, and oil and gas, but also our renewable resources.

Environment committee  I think it's not the case. I think we have a lot of work still to do in the oil sands.

Environment committee  I support a transition to a diverse energy economy.

Environment committee  I strongly believe that the market will determine more where the energy sector goes. I think that's the fundamental issue we're facing in this country that we haven't yet woken up to, that market forces are going to impact our existing energy industry, but what's coming down the

Environment committee  To be very clear on that, over the past 50 years, the development of oil sands has changed the face of Alberta in terms of economic prosperity, but it has also driven massive environmental impacts from tailings to greenhouse gas emissions. The future of oil sands will be in sit

Environment committee  One hundred per cent.
