“The recent Ipsos poll of G7 countries ranks Canada as the top preferred oil supplier among our G7 allies and the world. Canada has risen in the ranks to the top spot over the past two years since the poll was last conducted.
“As Canada’s energy province, these results speak to Alberta’s growing reputation and profile as a secure, responsible energy producer with the resources and expertise our partners around the world are looking for.
“Alberta’s government has been relentless in our efforts to promote how our province can provide reliable and sustainably produced energy to our G7 partners and beyond – and I am thrilled to see this message is being heard. Alberta’s strong environmental record and human rights standards contribute to our global reputation as a supplier of choice, and we stand at the ready to meet the world’s growing demand.
“The vote of confidence from our G7 allies also speaks to the incredible scale of the opportunity in front of us. Now is the time for us to work together to unleash the full potential of Alberta’s energy sector and create jobs and prosperity for generations of people in Alberta and Canada. The federal government should act now to remove production caps and join us in supporting an oil pipeline to the west coast, increasing access to tidewater and ensuring we can continue to provide Alberta-made energy for our valued partners around the world.
“As we welcome world leaders to Alberta for the G7 Leaders’ Summit, we will showcase exactly why Alberta is the answer to achieving global energy security.”
