Petition to the Government of Canada
- With reduced spending from the oil and gas industries due to slumping oil prices, an estimated 185,000 workers will have an impact on their employment from 2015 and beyond;
- $30 billion deficit announced by the federal government in March 2016, a $20 billion increase over what was originally estimated by the Liberal Party of Canada;
- Lack of pipelines to new markets has had an impact on Canadian producers of oil and gas, often receiving far less than market rates for our resource products;
- The current economic environment resulting from dragging oil prices has also had a negative effect on industries that are seemingly far removed from the oil and gas sector (e.g. travel, retail, finance, etc.); and
- Rising concerns regarding greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) on a global scale and the pledge of G20 nations to address this concern.
