It is disingenuous at best when CNRL, Suncor, Cenovus, and Shell come out in support of the new legislation, since they were the only ones at the negotiating table! (Of course they support it!)

What about Exxon, Cnooc, Harvest, COSL, Encana, Husky, etc. etc. Do they not also deserve a voice at the table given the billions of dollars they've invested in the province?

This just reeks of high school cliquey politics, and is an embarrassment.

They picked a sample of companies who invest in the market. You can't consult with everyone when you make a decision. I really doubt these other companies have wildly different perspectives than the four chosen.
