Petition to the Government of Canada
- Much of Canada’s economy comes from oil and gas exploration, extraction, transport, upgrading, refining and processing;
- Hundreds of thousands of Canadians work directly in the oil and gas sector;
- 100,000 oil and gas workers are now unemployed;
- Millions more benefit from the jobs and profits created by oil and gas development;
- Canadian governments collect $17 billion dollars annually from the oil and gas industry which is used to fund essential government programs and services;
- Canada is a world leader in the responsible development of its oil and gas resources;
- Pipelines are the safest mode of transportation for oil, gas and fluids; and
- A lack of pipelines to new markets means Canadian producers often receive far less than market rates for their oil.
