Article - http://calgaryherald.com/news/politics/braid-its-a-lonely-town-as-ottawa-plans-the-death-of-oil-and-gas I am very frustrated to how Butts can say lets' get off oil. Yet oil based products have not alternative replacement. Secondly, it would take well over 30 years to transformed an economy to clean technology. I have always believed in balance approach when it comes to both the economy and environment - https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/balance-policies-between-environment-rules-and-support-gdp-growth or https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/transforming-to-low-carbon-economy-canada-march-2017

• Did the Liberals not say they would speed up the approval process? https://www.liberal.ca/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/A-new-plan-for-Canadas-environment-and-economy.pdf “We also know
that after the Harper decade, Canadians no longer feel that they can trust their federal government to protect their best interests when it comes to the environment. Mr. Harper treats the duty
to consult with Indigenous Peoples as an afterthought, and he has weakened our environmental protections and approvals processes. Without public trust, it is hard to get anything accomplished.
In short, a lack of environmental stewardship is paralyzing major resource projects. If we want to get our resources moving, and benefit in a sustainable way from the jobs and growth our
resources sector generates, then the federal government must act to regain public trust”
• Harper was made out to being uncooperative when it came to involving people. Yet Harper held hearings with various groups - http://vancouversun.com/news/politics/trudeau-making-same-

14. SUMMARY
• The natural resources pay 50% higher wages than average wages in Canada
• Natural resources have huge trade surpluses.
• Canada needs to streamline processes to get material out of the ground to market
• You cannot have clean technology without raw materials
• Natural Resources drive government revenue which then supports innovation funds. Many clean tech
companies in Canada have not been able to generate a profit. The market value of clean technology
companies is driven by their goodwill, not their profit.
