Today, Shannon Stubbs, Conservative Shadow Minister for Natural Resources and MP for Lakeland, urged the Liberal government to deliver support for Canadian energy workers and businesses, and suggested immediate actions they could take:

Lakeland Member of Parliament Shannon Stubbs is proposing new measures to slow the dramatic rise in orphaned oil and gas wells.  Ms. Stubbs, the Conservative Shadow Minister of Natural Resources, introduced The Environmental Restoration Incentive Act, Bill C-221 in the House of Commons. This bill will create an immediate tax credit for decommissioning old and inactive oil and gas wells and proposes a flow-through share mechanism to get private investors to invest in well closure, remediation and reclamation. 

After Teck’s cancellation of Frontier yesterday today in Question Period Conservative MP for Lakeland, and Shadow Minister for Natural Resources, Shannon Stubbs told the House of Commons that the job and investment losses in oil and gas under the Liberals were more than the entire automotive or aerospace sector combined. She said this should be the top economic emergency and a national unity crisis.
