The price of oil would need to be around $80USD/bbl to be considered high.

Right now it has leveled, causing many projects to be delayed in Alberta. This coalition can't just take money from Alberta when there isn't any excess money to take. When the NEP was instituted initially, oil was peaking.... right now the economic conditions would not make sense to for anyone to put an NEP style policy through. I was just addressing the people that were saying that this is all about raping Alberta.

On a side note, one of the options for the GG could be to resign. This would force another election. This wouldn't be a bad idea as then she personally doesn't have to take responsibility for anything (and she shouldn't have to, the position is supposed to be just a figurehead).
