Im not saying that any increase would be dire, but 20% is absurd.. Especially considering the way the oil market works.. I just want people to realize they are walking a very fine line that could result in a huge downturn. I'm all for fair compensation, but not at the cost of future investment. If you read that petition by the alberta alliance party, they discuss how the panel came about its recommendations and what jurisdictions they used for comparisons. Personally I dont think using national oil companies provide a fair comparison, particularily ones located in dictatorships or communist countries.
