Yay!
The royalty review coming back unchanged means there will be no more job cuts. That was the cause for all this uncertainty and job loss from the start.
The job losses had nothing to do with Oil cratering down to $30 a barrel.
NDP hasn't gotten too much right since being voted in but it's laughable when people act like all the problems the Oil & Gas industry is facing is because of something the NDP did. They didn't help it in an already uncertain time but I personally think it's unlikely that any jobs would have been saved.
The timing was poor to launch this with they way the overall industry was trending, but it's not a bad thing to do a review of the royalties every once in a while.
Really hopefully all this announcement today means is that we see fewer cuts over the next 6 months, but IMO the cuts that already happened would have happened regardless.
