Brian Jean tells The Canadian Press that municipal governments have to recognize that the industry needs competitive taxes if it’s going to be able to pay any taxes at all

Alberta’s energy minister is promising strong action by next fall to clean up the province’s growing backlog of unreclaimed oil and gas sites.

Meanwhile, the province’s conventional oilpatch is in decline, with production falling slightly over the last decade. Less than 30 per cent of Alberta’s wells are new or active. The United Conservative Party government has already proposed two programs that would use taxpayer dollars to help energy companies pay for their legally required cleanup. Both have been heavily criticized.

“At this stage, I would say the Orphan Well Association is well funded. But the truth is, it’s going to change.”“We need to make sure our industry is able to operate competitively and, as such, lower the regulatory burden as far as things that aren’t necessary,” Jean said.
