Energy projects: How to get out of the ground? star-news.press/wp

If you simplify a creator of a corridor or acceptance process, Mark Carney and Pierre are the closures of the loading of hairy pierce, to promote energy projects and count regulations with the United States to reduce commercial addiction. But these proposals have a single key to Canadian puzzle.

All economists and analysts consult the reform of the regulation process.

Often, double effort, they are the rules that have double effort. For companies who want to invest, if it takes 10 years or 15 years, there is no investment refundThus, Martha Hall findlay, Director of the School of Public Policy at the University of Calgaryko University and former management Carefree.

In the case of analyst, the proof of this Canadian problem is compared to the United States: No liquidic project has been made in the border in the border.

Martha Hall findlay believes that in terms of construction of tubes, the largest openings in Canadian, Hitherto buried the construction of many projects. Alberta oil british pipeline towards British Columbia and natural exports of natural gas in the east to the west.

In a letter addressed to leaders (New window) 14 of the four main political parties General Manager Petrogazières and pipelines have been requested by regulatory reforms, whether it has been the simplification of the acceptance process, establish a clean schedule or implementation of taxes on major transmitters.

We all agree to make a decision that ten years of processes don’t help anyone.

Not only regulations

But, if many accept the need for a particular process to accept these projects, the regulations will not be the only weapon of Brandish, according to Andrew Leach.

Not a guarantee if we provide permissions, projects will be builtHe said.

The teacher refers to as an example, a long list of production in the indicative levels that are approved at the regulatory level, but is not yet running.

We also see it also in British natural gas projects. We have some projects with federal projects and provinces, but those who have not had the support of investors, because there are long-time contracts (yes, investors also seek more certainty in the market.

The main economist in the La Financière Central of Charles St-Arnaud is also asks the regulations if the only key.

I call a question for several million dollars: Why don’t they invest in Canadian oil and gas companies? Yes, the regulations did not help, but we also see a global current, where most companies reinvent less in their operations and return the income much more.

In the south of the border, Donald Trump repeatedly repeated the exploitation of fossil fuels with his famous slogan Drill, baby, drill And he attacked many regulations. But General Manager From Exxonmobil, Darren Woods responded with skepticism, reminds the economic conditions that are predominant in business investment decisions.

The price of today’s oil and the volatility of the stock market markets do not promote such investment decisions.

Necessary government support

In the north of Canada, General Manager business Western Kitikmeot resources, Brendan BellPoliticians regularly mentioned in one of these corridors in the aforementioned: Project Greys Bay.

Building the port and the road is to connect the Arctic sailors to South Canada. In the current situation of the license process, Brendan Bell believes construction 2030. It will begin a year.

But in this case, it’s a little different. It is much more (than regulations). We need funding and profitability when we identify usersHe explained.

Without infrastructure, the mines of customers and critical minerals do not want to work in contracts. But, without contract, infrastructure corridors have problems developing problems. Brendan Bell hopes that there will be a government commitment as a contract with defense.

It is not the only one to believe that government support is necessary. Last week, the President of the company in the Canadian Relationship of Calgary Canada, President of the company Berkshire Hathaway Energy Canada, Edward W. RhinHe stressed that government orders will need to respond to reduce the risks of first projects after federal elections.

Canada Ready … at the moment

According to a survey Nanos Research, Asked by Bloomberg, more than three Canadians would protect the idea of ​​federal funding to build a tube from the west to the east.

This Canadian attitude change makes Martha Hall optimistic, but history has also doubts. We need to change things, but the moment they diminish the difficulties, we tell ourselves: “Oh, it’s ok!” (…) For someone who works like me in a public policy environment, I think we need to remember that it is our hands, but not for Donald Trump, but for our economy.
