Calgary Leadership Forum ("CLF") announces its CITIZENS & INDUSTRY PANEL FOR A PRODUCTIVE ROYALTY MODEL
CALGARY, Sept. 8, 2015 /CNW/ - Calgary Leadership Forum's president Brian Lee announced the formation of a CITIZENS & INDUSTRY PANEL FOR A PRODUCTIVE ROYALTY MODEL, in response to Energy Minister Marg McCuaig-Boyd and Premier Notley's announcement of the appointment of the full review panel.
Lee confirmed the appointment of Christopher Yee as project Chair, and will announce shortly panel membership to consist of a balanced representation of Oil and Gas industry leaders and citizens at large.
"With the current oil price melt down and loss of a thousand jobs a week, we acknowledge the government for postponing legislative changes till 2017" said Panel Chair Christopher Yee.
"We are surprised and disappointed by the government's failure to appoint any oil and gas industry leaders to their review group. Why wouldn't they capitalize on the world class expertise available to them?"
The Calgary Leadership Forum's Charter creates a Citizens' and Industry Panel for a productive royalty model, with it's Mission; "to develop a Citizens and Industry based submission on a healthy/productive royalty model for the future."
