Interview with Jack Warnock on local and international energy policy


This Friday's program we will interview Jack Warnock, whose Report "Selling the Family Silver: Oil and Gas Royalties, Corporate Profits and the Disregard Public" was recently released by the University of Alberta's Parkland Institute.

The Report looks at the history of and current trends in energy policy internationally, and assesses Canadian policy in that context. The Report reveals that, while elsewhere in the world governments have been increasing public ownership and control of oil and gas sectors and increasing royalties and rent capture, Canada has gone the opposite direction.

Copies of the Report are available on the web at http://www.ualberta.ca/PARKLAND/research/studies/OilSaskWeb.pdf.

Join us on Friday November 24 or on Monday November 27 replay to hear our interview with Mr. Warnock.
