Premier Smith:Canadian Energy Executive Association brought together visionaries

As a prominent gathering of energy leaders, the Canadian Energy Executive Association brought together visionaries who recognize the pivotal role of a thriving energy sector in driving economic growth and prosperity. It was an honor to share the stage with esteemed speakers, including former US Secretary of Energy Rick Perry and renowned author Vikram Mansharamani, to exchange ideas and insights on the future of Canada's energy landscape.

As we explored the significance of Alberta's contributions to Canada's energy landscape, it became clear that our province plays a vital role in powering the nation, generating employment opportunities, and fueling economic growth. Moreover, Alberta's rich energy resources are in high demand globally, making it an integral part of the global energy equation.

However, to unlock Canada's full energy potential and ensure a secure, prosperous future for Canadians, it is imperative that we reassess policies that may be hindering our progress. The oil and gas production cap, for instance, and the pursuit of net zero power regulations require careful examination to ensure they align with our long-term energy goals. By engaging with committed industry advocates at the Energy Business Forum, we can work together to position Canada as the energy superpower it has the potential to be.

Ultimately, a strong economy, secure energy, and a bright future for Canadians depend on our ability to navigate the complexities of the energy landscape and make informed decisions that benefit our nation as a whole.
