Industry committee  As I indicated, we want to see support and we want to see a federal government that's proud of how remarkable our energy sector is, how completely valuable it is to the rest of the world, more than ever, and how it can help with energy security in Europe and carbon emissions in A

Industry committee  No. I don't believe so either.

Industry committee  I understand the value of being a world leader, but if nobody is following, then you're imposing all these costs on yourself while none of your competitors, and none of the much larger emission countries, are doing much about it. I notice the U.S. has decided it is definitely n

Industry committee  I hope it's not around in 12 months, but the fact is that Europe is building LNG reception plants right now because they know that's the future they need, both as a cleaner source than coal and to help make their variable or intermittent renewable sources more reliable. Gas is gr

Industry committee  I think the platform of the CAQ was much broader than just that. I'm assuming they got elected for many different reasons, and it's always dangerous to put one specific platform commitment as the reason for support. I hope they take a hard look at the possibilities Canada can ha

Industry committee  Do you mean for the world? No. That's laughable for the world.

Industry committee  We are a proudly Canadian organization. I'm merely sharing the sentiment that is real here in Alberta, so I'm not going to speculate on what a sovereign Alberta would look like.

Industry committee  It is certainly the case that Alberta is under-represented in the House of Commons. It is difficult to have only 11% of the seats but to be expected to bear much more than 11% of the cost for some of these national initiatives. Yes, that's very frustrating.

Industry committee  It would be pursuing more efficient and greener oil and gas, because that's the valuable commodity that the entire world is clambering for, and we should be the ones producing it. We are producing it more efficiently every year. The emissions per barrel have dropped 20% in the oi

Industry committee  It depends how you burn it, but yes.

Industry committee  It's not the highest-polluting, but it is one of the more emission-intensive by a fraction. It's also currently on its path to net zero. I think that's something people should support more, because I guarantee the producers in Russia and Saudi Arabia care nothing about net-zero p

Industry committee  No. I've heard five or six at most. If you do it from the existing pipes that are near the Maritimes, it could be.... The U.S. is building liquefaction plants in about 12 months.

Industry committee  The oil sands companies have said they will get to net zero by 2050. I think there are a lot of places where net zero could make sense, but net zero is extreme. It's a—

Industry committee  It's a very ambitious commitment. With something like the oil sands, given the opportunities they have to sequester and put in the infrastructure that could be required to achieve that, I believe them that it's attainable, but to expect a net-zero economy overall is extremely amb

Industry committee  I have never heard reduction estimates for 2050 on that scale.
