International Trade committee  This is obviously new information for us, and we're starting to sift through some of the details. I would just say look, there are so many new technologies that are going to be coming out within our sector. We're talking about hydrogen fuel cells to run our drilling rigs, high-l

International Trade committee  Sure. I would say that if you want to have a successful supply chain build-out, particularly when it comes to lithium, you need to have energy service contractors who will be at the front lines of extracting that. We're starting to see some incredible numbers of exploratory wel

International Trade committee  Was that directed to me?

International Trade committee  I think it's getting us closer to what we need. It's very unclear at this point whether or not our membership's drilling and service rigs would be able to qualify for the clean technology investment tax credit. We're having discussions with the federal government to see if that i

International Trade committee  If we want to be serious about reducing our emissions, we have to have this in collaboration with the federal government.

International Trade committee  Well, certainly I think one of the things we've pointed out within our white paper is that there is a huge opportunity within our sector to support decarbonization efforts not only within traditional hydrocarbon extraction sectors but, I would say, sldo more broadly within what w

International Trade committee  Yes, for sure. Thanks for the question . At this point, I think it's difficult to determine or quantify what the true financial and investment impact is going to be. I think for the first time Canada has at its southern border Americans wanting to “one-up” Canada, particularly

International Trade committee  Madam Chair, when it comes to the recycling piece, I would not be a subject matter expert on that question.

International Trade committee  Thank you very much, Madam Chair and members of the committee. My name is Mark Scholz. I'm the president and CEO of the Canadian Association of Energy Contractors. We represent 97 drilling rig and service rig members on the front lines of energy security and transition that curr

Natural Resources committee  Great. Mr. Chahal, thanks so much for that question. I think one thing that needs to be pointed out is that the government can support the transition by supporting the energy sector, in particular the service sector, that's predominantly working in the oil and gas industry. I'l

Natural Resources committee  That's a great question. I would echo what Mr. Goodman and Mr. McMillan have expressed. One of the things I want to point out is that whatever framework gets decided on, jobs, job creation and the potential elimination of jobs should be taken into consideration. I represent com

Natural Resources committee  Thank you for the opportunity to appear before the committee. The issue of an emissions cap on the oil and gas sector is a very important one for our country. Our association represents Canadian energy service companies operating close to the wellhead. Our member companies emplo
