- Suncor Energy (NYSE:SU) CEO Steve Williams says a meeting today between major players in Canada’s oil patch and PM Trudeau was encouraging but included no assurances on pipeline approvals.
- Trudeau has pledged to seek greater global market access for Alberta’s oil sands crude so long as it can be done in an environmentally sustainable manner; the federal government's move last week to require an assessment of new pipelines’ impact on Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions and Native American communities was viewed as a setback by much of the oil industry.
- Also included in the discussion were senior officials from Royal Dutch Shell (RDS.A, [[RDS.B), Husky Energy (OTCPK:HUSKF), Cenovus Energy (NYSE:CVE), Canadian Natural Resources (NYSE:CNQ), Imperial Oil (NYSEMKT:IMO) and Encana (NYSE:ECA).
