1/2: I was interviewed on CBC's The Eyeopener about the Conservative attempt to get the Liberals to formally commit to the pipeline MoU.

Recently spoke with the Petroleum Joint Venture Association about Canada’s energy future. We discussed demand trends, fiscal realities, and why clear policies matter for responsible development and economic stability. Great exchange with industry leaders on what’s next for energy security.
