One thing the NDP could do to get a huge boost and carve into that conservative support base is indicate:
A) promise that royalties will not be “reviewed” and eliminate any investor risk here over term if elected again and
B) indicate you’ll put additional resources into the AER to maintain the highest regulatory standards in the world but also streamline processes and reviews, etc.
They have to change something about 6-9 month lead times to acquiring surface access. If they do I suspect they get a lot of industry support.
And I actually think these are easy things to give. Also fire Joe Ceci and replace with new finance minister. If they do these things they’ll do some damage next election I bet.
