Or just imagine 40% of the economy gone...
Good report here if interested |
That's a great looking report, thanks for the post. I have just glanced but haven't seen much comparing the government role in oil and gas development. As we can see today, Saskatchewan has immense oil and gas resources, not quite as large as Alberta but certainly formidable. However, these were largely untapped until the Saskatchewan Party came to power and made oil and gas investment and development much more profitable (ie: regulations in line with AB). Do they cover that topic in any detail?
