OTTAWA, Sept. 23, 2014 /CNW/ - The Hon. Stockwell Day, former Leader of the Opposition and head of the Canadian Alliance will speak Wednesday in Ottawa on the need to expand access for Canadian oil products to new global markets, and why a refinery is the only option that will meet the conditions needed to meet this critical national policy objective. As the newly appointed Chair of the Advisory Committee for Pacific Future Energy Corporation, Day will speak about how building the world's greenest oil refinery in British Columbia, is vital to Canada's national interests.
In the wake of recent Supreme Court decisions, Day will make the case that the energy industry needs to recognize First Nations' right to full participation in the energy economy and to ensure they have a seat at the table throughout the entire process, from conceptualization onwards.
True partnership with First Nations also means true respect for the environment and for Canada's unspoiled coast – and Day will argue that this means that there is also a need to think creatively about how we export our energy, how it is refined, and how we get it to the markets where it's most in-demand.
