Résumé de la conférence

We will discuss the policy challenges involving the transport of oil in North America. These challenges include the bottleneck problem that is costing Canadians many billions of dollars as we receive below-market rates for our oil exports, as well as the challenge of managing risk as pipeline construction is stalled and oil is moved from pipelines to railway and road transport.
