Han Hua, the President of China National Petroleum was also in attendance. Canadian Ambassador Mike Wilson and the Canadian Embassy hosted a reception for some three hundred international guests. A full cadre of economists and business leaders were panelists on several related topics, and a White House tour was provided.
Alberta’s economic opportunity corridor from Ft McMurray to Calgary, centered in Edmonton was identified in a Joint Economic Committee report from the US Congress, as one of the safest, most secure sources of oil and gas in the world. The USA now ranks Alberta oil and gas reserves as greater than Saudi Arabia. The USA is very cognizant of environmental concerns and advised they do not propose widespread importing of pollutant laden oil. They are acutely aware Alberta’s oil production is increasing 50% by 2015.
Alberta Enterprise Group and the USA Senate and Congress featured Andrew Card as the key note speaker. Andrew is past chief of staff to the President and his inspirational reflections on democracy and his 911 experience held every one spellbound.
Congratulations Alberta on our story well told!
